Ingredients

Mulled Cranberry Juice:

6 cups unsweetened cranberry juice

3 cups light brown sugar 

10 cloves 

6 pods star anise 

3 cinnamon sticks 

Punch:

9 cups vodka

1 1/4 cups triple sec 

Orange twist, for garnish, optional 

Directions

  1. For the mulled cranberry juice: Combine the cranberry juice, brown sugar, cloves, star anise and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to cool completely. Strain just before using.
  2. For the punch: Combine the vodka, triple sec and 4 1/2 cups of the mulled cranberry juice in a large punch bowl over ice or a juice ice mold (see Cook's Note). Stir to combine. Garnish with the orange twist if using.

Cook’s Note

To make a juice ice mold, combine 2 parts cranberry juice to 1 part water and pour into a Bundt pan. Sprinkle in some frozen cranberries if desired. Freeze until solid.

This was very good, but it was too strong to really be consumed like punch and it’s more like a cocktail. If you want to drink it like punch, cut the amount of vodka in half (unless you enjoy hangovers at Christmas). I made it as is except I just used cranberry pomegranate cocktail so I could skip the 3 cups of brown sugar. The mulling spices made this absolutely delicious and your house will smell amazing. Leave a little without booze so kids can have some - the smell is too tempting for them to miss.
