Equipment

- 1 bottle champagne
- 1 bottle ginger beer
- 2 apples
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Star anise
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, whisk together apple jam, apple juice, and vodka until combined.
- Add some star anise.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to let the flavors blend.
- On a small plate, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- To serve, dip the rim and side of each glass in apple juice, then coat with the cinnamon sugar.
- Pour in the punch.
- Top with champagne and ginger beer, then garnish with apple slices, a cinnamon stick, and star anise.
Notes
- I recommend chilling your Thanksgiving punch in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
- You can mix the punch 3 to 4 days ahead and just add the champagne and beer right before serving. Always add the bubbles last to keep your holiday drink fizzy!
- Instead of cinnamon sugar, you can dip the rims of your serving glasses in caramel sauce, then sprinkle them with salt.
