⅓ cup Spiced Syrup - recipe follows
4 cups Cranberry Juice
3 cups Honeycrisp Apple Juice
3 cups Ginger Ale
2 to 3 wedges Fresh Lime - for squeezing in
1 cup Vodka - (optional) plain
3 to 4 whole Cinnamon Sticks - (optional) for garnish

For the Spiced Syrup

⅓ cup Water
1/3 cup White Sugar
2 whole Cinnamon Sticks
3 pieces Fresh Ginger - sliced
5 whole Cloves
3 pieces Orange Peel - cut peel pieces only

Instructions

Make the Spiced Syrup:
Add the cinnamon sticks, orange peel, sliced ginger, and cloves to a small sauce pan and cover with the sugar and water.
Set the saucepan over a flame and stir the contents until the sugar is melted into the water.
Bring the mixture to a light simmer and cover. Continue to cook the spiced syrup (covered) on a light simmer for another 5 minutes.
When 5 minutes of simmer time is up, turn the heat off and let the syrup steep an additional 5 minutes covered.
When steep time is up, remove cover, strain, and let cool to use in the halloween brew.
For the Spooky Spider Brew Halloween Punch with Vodka:
In a medium punch bowl, splash in the spiced syrup along with cranberry juice, honey crisp apple juice, and ginger ale. Stir with a ladle to combine.
If serving as an alcoholic Halloween punch with vodka, splash in about a cup or so to taste of plain vodka.
Squeeze the lime wedges in at the end and discard. Stir to combine evenly and garnish with thin slices of orange and thin slices of apple. Top with a few cinnamon sticks.
To serve, stir gently with the ladle and pour over punch cups filled with fresh ice. Garnish with an orange wedge and enjoy cold.
