Poinsettia Punch

This fragrant and refreshing holiday drink is such a crowd pleaser. It's both delicious and decorative as the finished product resembles a deconstructed poinsettia plant floating in the punch bowl. It's easy to prepare and will add to your table-scape this holiday season.While serving a punch is certainly a throwback, it allows for self-serve so you can host or hostess with bells on!
