Get ready for festive and boozy at-home entertaining with my Spiced Cranberry Orange Punch! The star of this easy-to-make punch is the cranberry simple syrup, featuring fresh cranberries, ginger, and warm spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pro tip: save the cooked cranberries for your next bowl of oatmeal or yogurt. —Will Coleman
