Pin ItThis time of year, we’re all looking for a festive holiday punch with vodka to make for parties! This is one of my favorites and we named it Spiced Apple Sparkler Punch because it’s full of spices, apples, and two sparkling beverages.
The flavor is an explosion of apple with the first sip. It’s so refreshing and delicious and the best punch for the holidays as well as New Year’s Eve!

Why You’ll Love This Punch
Festive and flavorful: Infused with real spices for that classic holiday feel.
Bubbly and fun: Sparkling Moscato and Martinelli’s give it a celebratory fizz.
Easy to prep ahead: Make the spiced cider base the day before.
Recipe Tips
Garnish to impress: Add fresh apple slices, cranberries, or star anise to the punch bowl.
Create an ice ring: Freeze apple slices, citrus, and spices in a bundt pan for a gorgeous presentation.
Chill everything: Make sure the wine, cider, and vodka are all cold before mixing.
Go alcohol-free: Omit the vodka and wine for a family-friendly version
Infusing Apple Cider with Spices
To bring out the warm, cozy flavors of the season, we infused pressed apple cider with whole cinnamon sticks, cloves, and fresh nutmeg. Just bring it to a boil on the stovetop, then let it simmer for 10 minutes to really let the flavors meld.
Once it cools (you can toss in a few ice cubes to speed it up), strain it into your punch bowl using a sieve. The result is a perfectly spiced cider base ready for the sparkling mix-ins!
