1 (32 fl oz) bottle cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
2 cups orange juice, chilled
2 cups vodka
2 tbsp brandy-based orange liqueur
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
ice
1 orange, sliced into rounds
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Mix
Stir the cranberry juice, orange juice, vodka, orange liqueur, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg together in a punch bowl.
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, so the spices have time to settle into the juice.
Serve
Ladle over ice and garnish each glass with orange slices.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
