Ingredients

  • 8 oz. apple cider option to use our homemade recipe or store-bought

Notes

  • Storage: Make the cider for spiked apple cider up to 7 days ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. When it's cocktail time, warm up the cider and mix in the liquor immediately prior to serving.
  • Cider: If using store-bought apple cider, warm up 8 ounces (or however much you are using) before mixing with the liquor.
  • Large Batch: Use our recipe multiplier (8 parts apple cider and 1.5 parts liquor) for a fall batch cocktail. Mix together in a large pitcher or drink dispenser and serve warm.
