Notes
This makes a great batch mocktail! Serve it in a large pitcher or punch bowl with garnishes floating, or leave the garnishes on the side for guests to top their own.
For a holiday twist, add a splash of cranberry juice!
To be extra fancy, carefully light the tip of a cinnamon stick on fire for 10 seconds.
To make this a cocktail, serve with 1.5 oz vodka, whiskey, or gin. If serving a crowd, I like to make a pitcher of the mocktail and then leave a bottle of alcohol next to it for guests to add as they please.
