Stewed Cranberry Punch
Starts similar to a favorite holiday side dish from which it derives its name.
(Servers 8 )
- 1 cup frozen cranberries
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cups of orange juice
- ½ lime juice
- 8 oz Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum
Like classic cranberry sauce, begin with a small pot of cranberries, brown sugar, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods and orange rind brought to a boil. Cool the mixture to room temperature before adding orange juice and a touch of limejuice – refrigerate overnight. To serve, strain the mixture into a punch bowl then garnish with whole cloves and cinnamon sticks. Freeze fresh cranberries and orange slices in a block of ice! For an added kick add a jigger of rum to each glass as served.

Baked Apple Pie
(serves 6)
- 30 oz of unfiltered apple juice
- 4 whole cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise pods
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 6 oz. Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka (optional)
- Apple pie spiced sugar rim
- 6 dried apple rings for garnish
The Baked Apple-tini reminds me of fresh-baked apples glazed with brown sugar and spices with a kick of course. Start with apple juice in a pan with whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise. Bring this mixture to a boil. Once the juice has cooled, add 5 oz of the mixture and 1 oz. of vanilla vodka (optional) to an ice shaker. Shake and strain into apple pie spiced sugar rimmed 8 oz martini glass and garnish with a dried apple ring.
* Equal parts super fine sugar and ground cinnamon with a dash of all spice mixture for rim
