Ingredients

  • 4 cups hot water
  • 2 cups whiskey rye or bourbon
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice about 2–3 lemons
  • 4-5 cinnamon sticks
  • 10 whole cloves
  • lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Add hot water, honey, and maple syrup to the slow cooker. Stir until dissolved.

  • Cover and set slow cooker to low for 1–2 hours to infuse flavors.

Notes

Do not let the punch boil, as it can dull the citrus flavor and reduce the spirit’s character. Adjust sweetness by altering honey or maple syrup amounts. Remove spices if they become too strong.
