Ingredients
- Cherry Juice1 bottle
- Orange peel3
- Red Chili Flakes1
- Cloves10
- Ginger6
- Vodka20 cl
Instructions
Tip the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger into a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days – the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours. If serving to young children, take the chilli out after a few hours. When you’re ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug. Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you're adding vodka, do so at this stage. Dangle a fangs sweet from each glass.
Expert Tips
Serving Tip
Create a decorative ice ring by freezing fruit and herbs in a bundt pan. It looks impressive and melts slower than regular ice.
Fresh Citrus Tip
Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.
Party Planning Tip
Prepare your punch base the night before and refrigerate. Add ice and sparkling ingredients just before guests arrive for maximum freshness and fizz.
Gin's distinctive flavor comes from juniper berries, though modern gins feature a wide variety of botanicals from around the world.
