Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the caramel vodka and add more apple cider. Chill all liquids before mixing to keep the punch cold. Add ginger ale just before serving for the best fizz. Try pomegranate seeds instead of cranberries for a twist. Adjust caramel syrup for sweetness. Use different apple varieties for fun flavor changes.
