Punches come in all flavors and this one is certainly unique, but you will find some classic punch inspiration. The Spirited Punch has a wonderfully simple name and, while it does have 3 liquors, is actually rather tame because it is made up mostly of orange oolong tea. This particular tea is a tasty combination with a nice rye whiskey, the honey vodka and ginger liqueur, which makes for a sweet, spicy and citrus punch that is ideal for any autumn party.
Ingredients:
- 5 oz Rittenhouse 100 Rye Whiskey
- 2 oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur
- 2 oz 42 Below Manuka Honey Vodka
- 14 oz orange oolong tea
- 1 1/2 oz vanilla sugar
- 4 oz fresh orange juice
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 3 pieces orange peel

- Place sugar in punch bowl. Add orange peel and muddle to release oils.
