Truly tastes like a warm apple pie in a mug, but don't forget it packs a punch from the alcohol! Also good iced! Ingredients:
1 gallon apple juice (unfiltered or the kind in the refrigerated section) |
1 gallon apple cider |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
4 -6 cinnamon sticks (or 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon if no cinnamon sticks) |
2 tablespoons mulling spices (if no mulling spices, add the spices you add to apple pie, such as 3 cardamom cloves, 1/2 tsp ground) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice (may use 1 tbsp lemon zest instead) |
1 liter ever clear grain alcohol (if you would like it stronger add up to a 1/2 liter more of ever clear but remember ever clear is 15) |
Directions:
1. Bring all ingredients EXCEPT EVERCLEAR to a soft boil. Simmer for 30-45 minutes.
2. Let cool and stir in Everclear. If you prefer a clear liquid, strain the mixture before adding the Everclear.
3. I store the majority of it in the juice bottles that it came inches For gifts, I either pour into a mason jar with a fresh cinnamon stick or pretty glass bottle with a cork or stopper.
4. Store in the fridge, serve hot, like regular cider or iced. Also great for mixing into other cocktails.
5. I serve this with Arroz con Leche on cold nights for dessert.
