Apple Cider Punch

1. Step 1Combine brandy, apple cider, ginger ale, sparkling cider, vermouth, and bitters in a glass drink dispenser or large pitcher. Top with ice and garnish with Shrunken Apple Heads.

To Make Shrunken Apple Heads

Using a marker or pen, draw on the skins of Granny Smith apples. Use a melon batter and pumpkin carving set to cut out details. Carefully peel apples. Combine 1 cup lemon juice and 1 tablespoon salt in a bowl. Soak peeled apples in lemon mixture for 30 second, then pat dry. Insert a wooden skewer into the bottom of each apple and place in a vase or tall glass. Let stand at room temperature until slightly shriveled, 5 to 7 days.
