12 ounces sweet vermouth
1 750 mL bottle Centinela reposado tequila (or other reposado tequila), chilled
12 ounces apple juice or cider, chilled
8 ounces lemon juice, freshly squeezed
4 ounces rich demerara syrup (2 parts demerara sugar, 1 part water), chilled

16 dashes Fee Brothers Old Fashioned bitters or The Bitter Truth Old Time aromatic bitters
24 ounces club soda, chilled
Garnish: apple slice
Garnish: cinnamon, freshly grated

Method:
At least 24 hours prior to the desired consumption time, fill a plastic container (1-pint or 1-quart, depending on the size of your punch bowl) with water and add apple slices and cinnamon sticks if desired.
Freeze until solid.
Combine the tea and vermouth in a jar or other container and let stand for 90 minutes, then strain and refrigerate.
