Stumble into Fall with this delicious Apple Cider Punch recipe (for grown ups only)

As the weather finally starts to cool down from a sweltering 100 F to a balmier 88 F, us Floridians begin to make the transition to Fall. With Fall comes the many holiday parties that people will no doubt be invited to as well as throw themselves. Now I'm not sure about you, but one of my favorite beverages growing up was apple cider. It was like the delicious wonder of apple juice with a cinnamon-y fall twist to it and so as I became the legal drinking age a few years ago, I created this Apple Cider Punch recipe for adults that is a real hit at parties.
