We do eggnog that is non-alcoholic so that you can spike it with whatever you want.....brandy, chocolate liquer, Guavaberry. But I wanted to do something else as well. There are at least two other people coming that do not drink either, so it's not just for me. Ideas? It can be either a punch or not.

Originally Posted By DlandJB I have a cold and a hot one for you. Cold -- Punch with a bottle of white cranberry juice - peach white cranberry if you can get it. Then add two small cans of pinapple juice and a 2 liter bottle of Sprite. Add lots of ice. Hot -- Cranberry Apple Cider. Blend red cranberry juice with Apple cider. Add a cup of brown sugar and mulling spices. Heat to just boiling. Strain off the mulling spices and serve.
