Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces vodka

Notes

Because this cocktail does not have any bubbly ingredient, it can be made in a large batch in advance which makes a perfect Halloween party punch!
If you do not have a muddler, you can use the back end of a wood spoon or something similar.
Brandied Cherries are the perfect garnish!
