Potent Apple Pie Punch

Red and white wine, apple cider, various sodas, and some potent apple pie punch. The favorite of the 24 24 24 Cold Comfort night was definitely the punch. It's super easy, apple juice or cider, spiced rum and cinnamon schnapps. I must say I'm really not a big drinker by any means so when I went to the liquor store I was a bit at a loss as to where to find cinnamon schnapps, first of all I never even knew it existed. So off I went searching... after finding the red and white wines I wanted along with some Captain Morgans I still couldn't find the cinnamon schnapps.

I finally gave in and asked an employee who looked at me weird and said "you mean Goldschläger?"

really that's what that stuff is??? Seriously I had no clue, all I knew is that people get really messed up on the stuff, and that there is gold floating in it... that's where my amazing knowlege on the subject ends haha. So anyway back to the recipe!

yup that's it in the HUGE punch bowl Zoe let me borrow, thanks Zoe!
