Instructions

In a pitcher, combine 4 oz soda with sugar cubes and bitters. Thoroughly dissolve before adding the rest of the ingredients (except cinnamon sticks)
-
Fill pitcher half way with ice and stir until well chilled.
-
Strain into empty punch bowl. Add cinnamon sticks to the punch as well as extra strawberry slices and grapefruit slices. Note, too much of grapefruit, in particular the rinds can completely alter the cocktail because of the bitter rind. Moral of the story, don't add too much.

For individual pours, have glassware with single large ice cubes ready and pour over top.
Recipe Notes
Note, if you end up using an Ice Block to keep in the punch, reduce your stir time and use less ice during prep. Infused ice blocks will really make a statement at the party!
Also, for added spice, switch out the club soda with a spicy ginger beer! Be mindful of the sugar levels, reduce the amount of sugar cubes used in case the ginger beer has a bit of sweetness to it.
