Drink of the Week: Cranberry Rum Holiday Punch
A festive twist on rum punch brings cranberry, citrus, and aged Caribbean rum to the Thanksgiving table.
Thanksgiving entertaining calls for cocktails that are easy to prepare, full of seasonal flavor, and perfect for sharing.
This week’s Chilled Drink of the Week, the Cranberry Rum Holiday Punch, combines ANGOSTURA 5 Year Old Rum with tart cranberry, orange, and fresh lime for a refreshing take on a holiday classic.
Produced in Trinidad and Tobago, ANGOSTURA 5 Year Old offers notes of spice, brûléed sugar, vanilla, and chocolate that complement the cocktail’s bright fruit flavors. The result is a festive rum punch that can be served individually or prepared in batches for holiday gatherings.
