I love your twist on spiced cider and the addition of apricot and citrus is wonderful. I can just taste how tart and sweet it is.

Thank you ladies for the comments! I was writing the recipe just before the dead line and forgot to mention that this punch would be equally delicious chilled and also apple cider can be replaced by white cranberry juice.

Love the twist on traditional mulled cider - like the addition of fresh citrus instead of dried orange peel!
