  • Subbed: 0.5oz of rye (Rittenhouse) for 0.5 of rum; New Deal Ginger liqueur for syrup; my own homemade ginger citrus cranberry sauce for muddled cranberries (~ 0.5oz). Delicious holiday-themed punch! Lengthen with Q Light Ginger Beer as desired. — ★★★★

Comments

I muddled fresh ginger (instead of cranberries) and used cranberry syrup (instead of ginger syrup). Kept everything else the same. It was great!
