My friend, Mike introduced me to this recipe & let’s just say I was instantly hooked.
I mean, what’s better than sitting by the fire, getting your buzz on with spiked, spicy cider?
Nothing.
Seriously, nothing.
Quick skinny tip: make sure you’re using an all natural/organic apple juice that’s not from concentrate. FYI: concentrate sucks ass. There’s absolutely nothing good about it. If it’s in your fridge, do yourself a favor & throw it away.
Trust me.
Ok- now go deck the halls while you’re sipping this amaze spiked, skinny dime.

Wha, Wha, Whiskey Spiced Apple Cider
{ Serve 2 }
+ 2 cups of organic/all natural spiced cider
+ Shot of whiskey
+ Option: a squeeze of lemon
+ Directions: boil your juice over the stove [ sans whiskey, the cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, & cinnamon ]. Grab a teacup & pour. Add a shot of whiskey, a dash of cinnamon, & a bit of nutmeg. Use a cinnamon stick as a cocktail stirrer. You could even cray & add a squeeze of lemon like me ; ). Bottoms up!

Mmm I had hot toddies at my wedding in October (local apple cider and rum, served up hot). They were a huge hit!
What a cute idea!
I recommend adding the whiskey last, after you boil all the other ingredients. Alcohol boils at a much lower temperature than water so if you bring the whole pot to a boil you’ll burn off alot of the alcohol and just be left with whiskey taste. Looks delicious otherwise though!
Love this tip; I’ll add it now : )!
This sounds soo festive & delicious! & love that is skinnnnny. Thanks!
No worries, Maggie!
I stopped by the grocery store last night after seeing this post! I bought my first bottle if whiskey. lol The drink turned out absolutely amazing! Thanks L!
YAY! So glad you liked it!
Sounds amazing!!! If you boil the cider with the whiskey will it burn off the alcohol?
Everyone recommends to add it at the end (I agree)! xoxo
nom nom. Totally trying this…like, tomorrow.
LMK how it turned out, Josie! XO.
Wow this recipe is awesome. Sipping a cup of it as I’m typing this. Thanks for posting! The perfect relaxing autumn/winter cocktail.
It’s better if you heat the apple juice with a couple of cinnamon siticks already in it. By the time it nears boiling your whole home will smell wonderful. By the way you can easily get away with off brand whiskey. Just remember it needs to be Canadian (rye) whiskey. Scotch is bad. Bourbon is awful.
Mike.
Great tip! Thanks Mike : ).
This sounds super amazing right now- ESP with this annoying gloomy + cold weather. Yumm!
