Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of Thanksgiving Punch?
Absolutely! You can easily make this recipe non-alcoholic by omitting the vodka. You can substitute it with sparkling water, club soda, lemon-lime soda, or non-alcoholic cider.

What can I use instead of ginger ale?
If you can’t find ginger ale or don’t want to use it, you can use ginger beer instead.

What can I use instead of vodka?
Personally, I enjoy the vodka but if you’d rather, a great alternative to vodka is white rum, tequila or a bottle of champagne.

Can I use regular apple juice?
While you can use regular apple juice, apple cider gives that fall season flavor. Therefore, if you are going to use apple juice, I would add some delicious flavors of fall such as pumpkin pie spice, cloves, and nutmeg to give it the classic fall flavors.

Ingredients Needed to Make Thanksgiving Punch

How to Make Thanksgiving Punch

In a large punch bowl, combine apple cider, ginger ale, and vodka.

Slice apples and oranges, and add the orange slices and apple slices to the bowl, reserving some for garnishing drinks. Give it a good stir.

If desired, add a few whole cinnamon sticks to the punch bowl.

Chill all the ingredients before hand, and the punch until ready to serve, or make ice cubes from apple cider so the punch doesn’t get watered down.

Pour into glasses. Serve and enjoy!
