How To Make A Holiday Punch With Joe Campanale
Fly high with this apple brandy-based blend from Joe Campanale
Though Joe Campanale suggests serving this gingery cocktail on your private jet, you can certainly sip it when your feet are on solid ground.
"Punch is great, because you can prepare it ahead of time. So when your friends arrive, you don't have to worry about mixing drinks," Campanale says.
To give the drink a sweet-tart kick, he muddles lemon peels with sugar and lets them macerate before stirring in apple brandy (American classic Laird's is his favorite), sherry and cider, then finishes it with ginger beer, soda water and apple slices.
