Fall Punch Mocktail & Cocktail

It’s hard to find fun batched mocktails to serve that can also be made into cocktails when you have a group where some people drink and some don’t. This one is sweet and cinnamony and perfect for fall. This would be great to batch for Thanksgiving dinner or a fall dinner party!
