Tips:

Use 100% cranberry juice for a more tart flavor or cranberry cocktail for a sweeter taste.
Slice the apples thin so they release more flavor and look pretty in the punch.
Add rosemary and cinnamon sticks just before serving for the freshest flavor and aroma.

Storage and Make Ahead

You can prepare the punch a few hours ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.
Add the sparkling cider just before serving so it stays bubbly.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2–3 days, and refresh with new fruit if needed.
