Pour in apple cider, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.
Stir in spiced rum or vodka and simple syrup.
Add ginger ale and sparkling water just before serving.
Top with lime slices, cranberries, and mint sprigs in glasses.
Notes
For a drier punch, use sparkling wine. Omit alcohol for a family-friendly version. The ice ring chills without dilution. Mint enhances aroma and freshness.
