Jack-o'-Lantern Punch is a crowd-scale Halloween bowl: aged rum, orange juice, cranberry, and a little cinnamon syrup for warmth. The color lands pumpkin-orange without puree, and the structure stays closer to a rum punch than a dessert cocktail. Served from a pitcher over ice, it scales cleanly for a party.

Bartender's Note
Use aged rum for body. If the punch tastes thin, add a splash more cranberry rather than more syrup.
