Instructions
- Start by making the simple syrup by combining the sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, and star anise (optional) in a small saucepan and heat on medium until the sugar has melted. Set aside to cool and infuse for 30 minutes.

- Top with Prosecco and add orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and pomegranate seeds.
- Fill glasses with cotton candy and sanitized spiders.
- Pour the punch over the cotton candy and garnish with orange slices and cinnamon sticks.
Notes
- Use large ice cubes so that the punch will stay chilled but not dilute the cocktail as quickly as smaller cubes.
- Garnish with fun Halloween props! Plastic eyeballs, spiders, and skulls are all great additions. Just remember to clean anything you are adding to the drink thoroughly!
