I got all the items to make this homemade rum punch recipe at my local The Fresh Market.

I also wanted to try a couple of their signature holiday sides. I tried the cranberry relish and whipped potatoes.

I picked up both items in the deli section. They were absolutely delicious and a great pairing with this Rum Punch Recipe for sure!

How to make Apple Cider Rum Punch:

1. Slice one Honeycrisp apple and one orange into thin slices. Place in a large pitcher or punch bowl.
2. Pour Honeycrisp apple cider, orange juice, and rum on top. Stir to combine.
3. Add cinnamon sticks. Let sit for at least one hour in the fridge.
4. Serve cold with apple and orange slices and a cinnamon stick!

How much easier can this recipe get? Seriously it takes minimal time and effort to whip up this Rum Punch and I can promise you that it is absolutely tasty.

It’s one of those drink recipes that you can’t just seem to stop at one, even know you should, you really don’t want to because it’s just so fresh and inviting.

At least that is how I feel about it, but I’m absolutely in love with this recipe and we make it all the time because it is always such a huge hit.

 

I can’t find Honeycrisp apple cider, what can I use instead?

If you are having trouble finding Honeycrisp apple cider, no worries! I found mine at The Fresh Market in the produce section, they have a little area in the refrigeration with tons of juices.

If you are still having trouble, any apple cider or even apple juice will do!

Rum Punch Alternatives and Add-Ons:

• Add mulling spices to the mix for an extra spicy punch!
• Experiment with spiced rum or flavored rums such as pineapple!
• For an extra festive touch, add cranberries to the mix, make sprigs of rosemary and cranberries for garnish.
• Use fresh squeezed orange juice in place of store-bought.

To me, its the cinnamon sticks that make this Homemade Rum Punch extra special. Do NOT skimp on adding them.

How to store:

This needs to be stored in the refrigerator. So I would recommend storing in a glass container as plastic can actually ruin the drink itself.

Place it in the refrigerator with the top covered with some plastic wrap and it should be good for a 2-3 days.
