Festive ideas for a nice 'Punch' (wish I hadn't asked already)

Or some interesting mixers will do

Alwasy fancied trying a different drink but never got round to it

For the Xmas holidays this always makes the house smell like xmas and tastes so good especially if you are coming in from the cold...This is brilliant...

Gluhwein

Serves 6
3 cinnamon sticks
10 whole cloves
1/2 large orange
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 (750-milliliter) bottles inexpensive dry red wine (such as merlot)
Rum (optional)
1. Enclose cinnamon sticks and cloves in large mesh tea ball or cheesecloth (breaking cinnamon sticks to fit as necessary); place in large pot. 2. Place orange half on work surface. Using knife, cut thick strips (including peel, pith and a bit of fruit) away from orange.
3. Add water and sugar to spices in pot and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add orange rind to pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Add wine to spice mixture and place pot over medium heat. Heat mixture, stirring occasionally, until hot (do not boil). Pour into mugs, adding a shot of rum to individual servings as desired, and serve hot.


This is a recipe i had off an Austrian Women so its about as close you will get to the real thing...infact depending on the wine i have made it better....

I will be making this a few times over xmas...

When we make 'punch' we tend to get everyone to bring a different spirit round with them, whack it all in the punch bowl, top it up with cider, lager, blackcurrant and lemonade then get into a nice friendly game of ring of fire :D

Not really sure you can consider that a punch though... it's more of an oversized dirty pint!
