It’s near the end of apple season for us but we still have a ton of apples hanging around. The days are getting colder and colder and what better way to warm up than with a hot beverage. We found a way to keep warm and get rid of our apple overstock.
Not only is apple cider delicious to drink but it smells amazing when making it!
Now, if you’d like a spiked apple cider cocktail, just add ice and vodka! Recipe below.
