Ginger hard apple cider is a festive holiday punch. Ginger flavored liquor is combined with bourbon and hard apple cider. The recipe calls for aromatic bitters, I suggest using a fruity flavor like bitter orange. To keep the punch cold, nestle it in a bed of ice or freeze slices of fruit to act as ice cubes. This punch will definitely be a hit at your holiday party.
