  • 5 cups Sparkling Water
  • ¼ cup Maple Syrup

Herbs and Garnishes

  • 3–4 Rosemary Sprigs

Fruits

  • 3 Apples, sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix Base Liquids: In a tall pitcher, combine the apple cider, orange juice, and lemonade. Stir gently to blend the flavors and set aside for later steps.
  2. Add Fruit: Cut the apples and orange into slices or wedges and add them directly into the pitcher, infusing the punch with fresh fruit flavors and visual appeal.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the punch into glasses, including some fruit slices and rosemary sprigs for garnish, then serve to your guests and enjoy the vibrant fall flavors.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet punch.
  • For a crowd, easily multiply the ingredients to serve more guests.
  • Can be made a day in advance but add sparkling water right before serving to maintain fizz.
  • This punch is alcohol-free but can be spiked with a splash of bourbon or rum if desired.
