Prep/Cooking Time: 3 min prep

Ingredients:

2 ounces rum (Apple-flavored, I used Bacardi Big Apple, but any Apple Vodka would work!)
1/2 ounce cinnamon schnapps (Any kind would do but I used Hot Damn)
6 ounces ginger ale

Directions:

Fill a tall “High Ball” glass with ice, and pour over the Apple Rum. Pour over the Cinnamon Schnapps. Top off with Ginger Ale.

Stir all together, and enjoy.

Ingredients:

2 English (hothouse) cucumbers
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups spring or filtered water
1 Simple Syrup or agave syrup

Directions:

Finely grate cucumbers into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Drain the cucumber for 1 hour and collect the juices. Press on the cucumber pulp to extract any additional juice. Add lemon juice, water and syrup, if using, to the cucumber juice. Serve chilled or over ice.

“This is a great crowd pleaser punch. ‘Retro’ to youngsters but a staple at every Christmas party in my family since the early ’60’s. The ‘Dads’ gather around the punch bowl and ‘taste-test’ the first batch before anyone else is allowed to partake.”
