When I’m hosting a gathering – be it for the holidays or otherwise, there are a few things I always want. One, I want the house to smell amazing when guests first step in the front door. Two – I want the menu to be simple & one that I don’t have to tend to all day. I want to enjoy my guests. Three – I want everyone to be able to find & grab their appetizers, snacks & bevvies easily. So that’s what makes drinks like this Cran-Apple Bourbon Punch so AWESOME. It cooks & then stays warm in the slow cooker. The house smells AMAZING with all the cinnamon & spices too. I can just toss it all in there & it’s ready to go.
Really – it’s so nice to have a warm beverage to serve guests during holiday parties. Which is why I had to include this one in bourbon week. With the popularity of bourbon right now- this one will surely be a hit with your guests.
You could do a separate batch in another crock pot without the bourbon if you want to offer a non-alcoholic version.
