Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small dish. Wet the rims of your glasses with a slice of lemon, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Set the glasses aside.
Add the apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, ginger, and allspice berries (if using) to a large pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Once the spices are infused, remove the pot from heat and stir in half of the maple syrup while the mulled cider is still warm. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. Strain out the spices and let the cider cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl with ice, combine the cooled spiced cider with the orange juice and pineapple juice. Stir well to blend.
Just before serving, gently stir in the ginger beer or ginger ale to add a refreshing fizz.
To serve, pour the punch into the prepared glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh rosemary sprig and a cinnamon stick, or slice of orange or apple for a festive touch.
