• Fill two ice cube trays with apple cider and freeze 8 hours or overnight. You may need a bit more or less of the cider, depending on the ice cube tray that you use.
• Meanwhile, heat the sugar, cinnamon and 1/3 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking the entire time. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove it from the heat. Allow it cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

• Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered 20-30 minutes.
• Remove from heat, strain through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth.
• Taste punch and sweeten accordingly. Apple Cider and Cranberry Juice vary greatly in sweetness - you may need no sugar, or you may need a little more than listed.
• Add rum and butter, stirring until butter melts. Or, if having a non-alcoholic alternative is desirable, hold off on adding the rum to the entire punch and add 1 to 2 tbsp of rum to each mug, then fill to the rim with hot punch.

CRANBERRY CIDER PUNCH RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Simple syrup: Combine all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. You can store this in the refrigerator for several days. Bursting cranberries: Add the cranberries and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the water is simmering and the cranberries are bursting, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. Punch: Stir the ingredients together gently and taste. All ginger beers are different, so you may want to add more simple syrup or more cider. Serve the punch over crushed ice and garnish with the cranberries.
