Who really wants to play bartender at a holiday party? The answer is no one. That's when big-batch cocktails like eggnog, bourbon milk punch, and mulled wine come in handy. Albeit delicious, those traditional drinks can be on the heavy side, which is why I developed this light and bright citrus-y punch that earns its sweetness from orange juice. Feel free to adjust the ratios so the cocktail is sweet to your liking. I like to serve the spirits on the side so guests can mix in the amount they like, but the spirits can be mixed in too.
