Ingredients
Filtered water
1 orange, halved and sliced
18 to 20 whole cranberries
1 orange, zested
2 Frontier Co-op® Regenerative Organic Certified® Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks
6 Frontier Co-op® Whole Cloves
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup Frontier Co-op® Cane Sugar
32 ounces cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
28 ounces apple cider, chilled
1 liter club soda
1 1/2 cups dark rum
Directions
- One day in advance of serving, into a 4-cup ring mold, pour filtered water until 3/4 inches deep, and freeze.
- Remove frozen mold and place 6 to 7 orange slices end to end on top of ice.
- Top the center of each slice with 3 cranberries grouped together. Add more water to cover, adjusting fruit so evenly spaced, and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours.
- In a small heavy saucepan, bring orange zest, cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, water, and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep, uncovered, for 1 hour.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
- To serve: In a punch bowl, add remaining ingredients and spiced syrup, stirring to combine. Add ice ring before serving.
