This red punch recipe is perfect to serve for thirsty Halloween party goers but can also be enjoyed even without an occasion. It has a balanced combination of sweetness from the strawberry puree and sourness from the cider. For a fun serve, add pop rocks and lollies with fresh strawberry per glass serving.
Glass: Highball glasses
Ice: Tube

- 500 mL Cabernet Sauvignon red wine
