Pumpkin:

Punch:

Slice the apples into thin rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Garnish each slice with 5-6 whole cloves, then freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, combine apple cider, bourbon, bitters, and lemon juice in the pumpkin cavity and cover with the pumpkin top. Refrigerate until the pumpkin and punch inside are thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours. Remove the lid, add apple slices to the punch, and serve.
