The perfect balance of warmth and sparkle for any Autumn gathering.
In a small saucepan, combine the whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise with the sugar and water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain out the spices. Set aside.
Assemble the Punch
In your favorite punch bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, apple cider, fresh lemon juice, and Cointreau.
Pour in the bourbon—start with 2 cups and taste. You can add up to 3 cups depending on how strong you like it.
Top the punch with the bottle of Prosecco or Champagne. Stir gently to combine.
Chill the punch in the fridge until ready to serve.
Garnish + Serve
Just before serving, make a platter or board of your favorite garnishes and set out next to the punch bowl (sliced apples, blackberries, lemon slices, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves). This not only looks pretty but allows your guests to serve themselves while you are putting the finishing touches on your dishes in the kitchen.
Add ice to the punch right before serving to keep it cool without diluting the flavors. Top with a few garnishes for a festive look.
