Spiced Cherry Punch
Punch is a classic fruity drink served at various celebrations and social events. The specialty of cherry punch is its intense, slightly tart fruitiness, which is further enhanced by the spices. It originally evolved from the German drink "Bowle," which was made with fresh fruits and wine. The spiced version is an excellent choice for cooler evenings or summer garden parties alike. The recipe can be varied: if you want to make it alcohol-free, replace the red wine with grape juice or cherry juice. Adding a little lime or lemon can give it an even fresher taste.
