Cider Punch

This is a family punch recipe that we always make up for large gatherings, such as New Year's Eve. At first it's quite sweet and fruity, but as people add to it through the evening, it tends to get slightly more intoxicating!

• 600 ml/ 1 pint pure orange juice
• 1 litre/1 ¾ pints sweet or dry sparkling cider (hard cider - US)
• 150 ml/10 tbsp sweet sherry, fruit liqueur or brandy
• 1 orange sliced

Mix all ingredients together in a jug or bowl.

Serve chilled.

Alternative: To make a warm wassail-style punch, add a good pinch of mixed spice/cinnamon and warm (do not boil) before serving.
