Get into the holiday spirit with this festive Thanksgiving Punch recipe! Made with apple cider, whiskey, and a mix of fruit juices.

Combine 3 cups apple cider, 3 cups cranberry juice, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup Fireball Whiskey, and ½ cup apricot brandy in a large punch bowl or pitcher.
Top off with 3 cups lemon-lime soda and ice.
Garnish with apple slices, orange slices, cranberries, and cinnamon sticks.
To make ahead, combine all ingredients except for the soda and ice in a large punch bowl or pitcher and refrigerate overnight. Add soda, ice, and garnishes just before serving.

If you do not have apricot brandy, another fruit brandy like apple or blackberry could be used.
Make sure to use 100% cranberry juice and not cocktail juice. I like to use Ocean Spray Pure; this gives it a reddish tone, and others may leave it to look more orange, which is perfectly fine, too!
Club soda can be used in place of lemon-lime soda for a less sweet punch.
