    This fall party punch is the perfect beverage to serve at your next fall gathering. Light, fruity, and a little bubbly, it's so refreshing and can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.

    Ginger ale gives this punch a bubbly, spiced flavor, and pairs well with seasonal apple cider and fruity pineapple juice. This punch is also easy to customize! Try playing with the ratios of each ingredient to make your own favorite punch flavor.

    Halloween, Thanksgiving, football parties, or any fall gathering are the perfect occasion for this fall party punch. It can even be made year round - no need to wait for fall!

    Ingredients and substitutions

    Ingredients on a counter top.

    For this recipe, you'll only need three ingredients, so I don't have many substitutions to offer today!

    Apple cider can be substituted with apple juice if needed.

    What's the difference between apple juice and apple cider? They're both made with one ingredient - apples.

    However, apple cider doesn't go through the filtration process that apple juice does, which removes extra pulp and particles. That is why apple cider has a cloudy appearance.

    How much punch to serve at a party

    How much punch will you need for your party? Here is a helpful article: How to Calculate Punch for a Party.

    For a shorter event serving only cake, you may need as little as 4 to 8 ounces of punch per person.

    For an event lasting several hours with appetizers and mingling, you may need up to 12 ounces of punch per person.

    How to keep your punch cold

    So you're serving your punch in a punch bowl. How do you keep it cold?

    If you'd like to add ice to your punch bowl, I'd recommend adding just a few large ice cubes. A bunch of small ice cubes will melt quickly and dilute your punch.

    These large ice cube trays on Amazon could make a great addition to your punch bowl.

    If you have a bundt cake pan on hand, fill it partially with water and freeze. This will make one large ice cube ring - the perfect size for a punch bowl.

    Or, serve your punch alongside a bucket of ice. Guests can add ice to their glasses as they please.

    Can I add alcohol?

    Yes, alcohol can be added to this punch. If you'd like to mix alcohol into the punch itself, I recommend adding up to 16 ounces of alcohol to one gallon of punch.

    Or, add a shot of your favorite alcohol to each glass, then top with punch.

    What alcohol pairs well with this fall party punch? Spiced rum is my favorite option, but clear rum or whiskey would also pair well.
