• BYOC: Want to really indulge? Whip some cream up with a little superfine sugar and dollop on top. Want to cut some calories? Try making this with almond milk.

CEREAL MILK PUNCH

Steps:

• Stir the milk and cereal together in a large bowl or pitcher and add the cinnamon stick. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• When you are ready to serve, strain the milk through a fine-mesh strainer into a punch bowl or pitcher, making sure to squeeze out as much milk as possible. Stir in the brandy, orange juice, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and enough ice to fill the pitcher. Pour the punch into rocks or punch glasses filled with ice. Run a strip of orange peel over the rim of each glass and add to the punch. Grate over a little nutmeg, sprinkle a few cereal flakes over the glasses and serve immediately.

• For the punch, whisk the milk and the ice cream or the heavy cream together in a large pitcher or punch bowl until it is blended. Stir in the spirits and the simple syrup to taste. Refrigerate until chilled. To serve, pour into highball glasses and grate the nutmeg on top.

BRANDY MILK PUNCH

Steps:

• Place brandy, simple syrup, vanilla, and milk in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Strain mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with nutmeg and serve immediately.
