INGREDIENTS

1 orange, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 apple, diced
2 cups Riesling – see note
2 cups pomegranate juice
1/4 cup We Olive White Apple Balsamic Vinegar
2 22-oz. bottles dry hard apple cider – see note 

DIRECTIONS

Add the orange, pomegranate seeds and apple to a large pitcher or punch bowl. Next, add the wine, juice and vinegar. If you’d like to make the punch in advance, punch can be stored, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 24 hours. Add the hard cider just before serving. Serve over ice. 

 Chef's Notes:

Note: We used a dry Riesling, but if you want your punch a little sweeter, you can choose a off-dry Riesling. For the hard cider, we chose Julian Hard Cider for its dry, crisp apple flavor.
