Holiday spiced punch
10
Easy
5 minutes
Festive fabness should be spread no matter the size of your gathering. Whether it’s full-force New Year chaos, or just your nearest and dearest, this punch will bring the cheer. It’s easy enough to bring together but has such a flavourful flavour that your friends will think you’re the next best bartender. I love a punch because you can adjust it to everyone's liking while not having to be shaking drinks all day. After all, it’s a time for family, food and fun. The flavours are aromatic, nutty, luscious and berry sweet.

Method
Ingredients
1. Pour the juices into the punch bowl of your choice.
2. Add the alcoholic ingredients and stir well. Top with soda water for a lighter cocktail. Add the ice to dilute and cool the mixture.
3. To make the spiced syrup, dry toast the spices in a pan. Add the sugar and half the chai and heat until dissolved. Add the syrup and spices to the cocktail. Add the remaining chai tea. Add Angostura aromatic bitters, if using.
4. Serve over ice in a tumbler. Garnish the glasses with raspberries, strawberries or orange slices for serving.
Cook’s note: To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the alcohol with 250 ml Woolworths raspberry juice, 125 ml non-alcoholic wine or red grape juice and 25ml Woolworths almond-flavoured essence or almond syrup (for that amaretto flavour).
