Perfect Holiday Party Punch

The end of the year is coming, and holy cow there are a ton of parties, which means lot of punch, and food, and fun! This punch is definitely a sweeter one, but you can of course add some rum to it, to give it a kick.

I picked some seasonal flavors! A new favorite of mine would have to be the St George Spiced Pear Liqueur. I the other are just all around favorites. A lot of people ask what is Becherovka. Becherovka is a bitter digestif, with flavors of clove, ginger, and cinnamon. If you like Fernet-Branca, you'll love Becherovka! This punch is seriously perfect for you fancy holiday party!

Ok, so now the recipe!
