Sparkling Apple Cider Punch - The Lemon Bowl

Last week my first child had a birthday and we celebrated with our annual turkey chili party with all the toppings! This kid is such a crack up.

He wanted to make silly faces with Mama before his friends arrived. Who was I to say no?

Since we don’t keep soda or juice around on a regular basis, I always like to have a fun drink available for the kids and anyone else who isn’t in the mood for a pumpkin beer. This year I hit a home run with a quick and easy sparkling apple cider punch.

Sparkling Apple Cider Ginger Punch - The Lemon Bowl

Made with sparkling cider, ginger beer and a splash of lemon juice, the entire punch is scented with star anise and cinnamon sticks.

We kept it non-alcoholic for all of the kids but you could easily turn it into a cocktail by adding bourbon or vodka. One thing is for sure: the party was a huge success and just like that, our little man is another year older.

Your straw is waiting.

  3. Do you have recommendations for the proportions for the added bourbon? I am thinking of using this recipe as one of our craft cocktails for mine and my fiance’s wedding next month.

  6. I was thinking of doing some sort of bourbon apple cider combo for a neighborhood get together next weekend. This sounds perfect! And happy birthday to your boy! My oldest just turned 4, too – it’s a fun age :)
