Review of Hot Drink for the Holidays

Hot Holiday Punch Recipe Postcard

Hot Drink for Cold Days

I love to entertain during the holiday season. When my guests come in from a cold winters evening a cup of hot holiday punch will make them feel warm and festive.

Over the years I have experimented with several combinations for hot drinks and have ended up using this one for the past ten years or so.  It has just the right blend of juices and spices and is great with or without alcohol added.  I always serve the alcohol on the side and let the guest decide how much to add or not.

Hot Holiday Punch

Ingredients


  • 1 Jar (48 oz) cranberry juice 
  • 1 can (46 ox) unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 3 sticks cinnamon
  • one orange cut into slices

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in large crockpot and heat.  I put a decanter of rum nearby for those who would like to add a bit of liquor.

At the beginning of this page I added a link to a recipe card for the punch that you can purchase on Zazzle.

Mugs for Hot Drinks

Here are some festive mugs I found on Zazzle.
The first one can be personalized with your name.

  1. This sounds like a delicious hot drink to serve on cold winter days, and throughout the holidays! I very much appreciate that you have the rum on the side to add to individual servings. Too often I attend parties where the punch is spiked when made, which leaves me without a cup of punch since I don't drink any alcoholic beverages. It really is easier for each individual to add the amount of alcohol they want to their own glass.

  2. This sounds like a delicious punch, Mary Beth. Nothing like a hot drink on a cold winter's night, especially at a Christmas party.

  4. I don't like hot drinks; coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate... i just don't want to drink warm things. BUT ... this sounds delicious. I'd like to try this.

  5. Oh I will try this recipe out for sure. I'm always on the look out for something a little different and I like cranberries and pineapples. The combination sounds wonderful. Thanks Mary Beth, I will raise a toast to you!
