Instructions
Make The Ice Block: The day before serving the punch, arrange the pomegranate pieces and citrus slices in a small loaf pan, bundt pan, or baking pan. Fill with filtered water to cover the fruit and then freeze until solid.TIP: Plan to make the ice block at least a day ahead so ti has plenty of time to set.
Make The Ginger Juice: Place 5 inches of peeled ginger pieces in a food processor or blender and add 3/4 cup of water. Process until smooth then pass through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids. TIP: You can make the ginger juice up to two days ahead — store refrigerated in an airtight container.
Make The Punch: Combine the apple cider, ginger juice, pomegranate liqueur, orange bitters, sparkling wine in a large pitcher or punch bowl. To unmold the ice block, dip the pan in hot water until the ice block releases then gently place it in the punch. Serve the cups of punch topped with thinly sliced apples.
