Add black currant juice to a sauce pan with 5-6 cinnamon sticks and 1 tsp. of cloves. Simmer on low for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for another 2 minutes. Strain cloves and cinnamon, but save 4-5 cinnamon sticks. Chill spiced currant juice.
Once chilled, add 6 cups of chilled sake, ½ cup St. Germain and ½ cup spiced black currant juice to a bottle or punch bowl with 4-5 cinnamon sticks. Refrigerate until guests arrive.
If serving as punch, add a few sliced oranges and limes to the bowl with cinnamon sticks. You can also add a little prosecco to give it some lovely bubbles.
