Grapple

Grapple is a delightful and refreshing punch that combines the rich flavors of grape juice with the crispness of apple cider or juice. The addition of a touch of lemon juice adds a subtle tanginess, while a hint of cinnamon provides a warm, spicy undertone. This drink is perfect for gatherings and celebrations, offering a harmonious blend of sweet, tart, and spiced notes that make it a favorite for both kids and adults.

The origins of Grapple are not well-documented, as it likely arose from a creative twist on traditional fruit punches, which have been popular throughout history. The combination of grape and apple is a natural pairing found in various culinary traditions, and the inclusion of lemon and cinnamon aligns with the common practice of adding spices and citrus to enhance flavor profiles. This simple yet flavorful beverage can be enjoyed both warm and chilled, making it versatile for different occasions and seasons.

This drink style is classified as a Punch or Party Drink and is Non-Alcoholic, so have as many as you want. The recommended glass type for this drink is a Any Glass. We say, feel free to serve it in whatever you have available; it will still taste the same :)

You may also use different variations of the same ingredient. For example, you could change up fruit types or sugar substitutes. Other substitutions would include different brands of liquor.
