Tips

  • As written, the recipe will yield just over 16 4-ounce servings.
  • To chill this punch you can add an ice ring or blocks of ice to the bowl or place the punch bowl in an ice bath on the serving table. Alternatively, supply an ice bucket from which guests can pull as many cubes as they like while filling their glass.

Recipe Variations

  • When adapting this punch for various serving sizes, make it easy by measuring it in parts. It's very simple because the majority of the ingredients are poured in equal amounts. The melon liqueur, two rums, apple juice, and simple syrup are each 1 part and the cranberry juice is 2 parts. Most volumes will do fine with 1 whole juiced lemon, but you can add more if needed to suit your taste.
  • Want to enjoy the punch on your own? You can make it by the pitcher and store it in the refrigerator for a quick pour-and-drink cocktail (it should stay fresh for a few days). Otherwise, pour 1 ounce each of the "1 part" ingredients, 2 ounces of the cranberry juice, and add a splash of lemon juice. This will create one tall 8-ounce cocktail or two shorter 4-ounce drinks. Shake the ingredients and strain into your glass.

How Strong Is a Halloween Harvest Punch?

The high volume of nonalcoholic ingredients helps this punch stay within a reasonable alcohol content for a party. When made with 80-proof rums, it should weigh in around 13 percent ABV (26 proof), which is like a typical glass of wine.
