Spiced (and Spiked) Concord Grape Punch image

A bone-chilling celebration calls for cocktails of an equally eerie sort, such as this deep-purple punch. Cardamom pods, fresh grated nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks infuse concord grape juice with plenty of warm, spiced flavors. Mix it with vodka for a festive, adult beverage.
