Hot Apple Cider

Hot apple cider can be the base for many a festive cocktail. Served by itself with a cinnamon stick, it's a delicious treat for the kids. However, the adults will enjoy the same, but with a splash of spirits added. Try warming up a pot of cider on the stove and offer your guests a variety of spirits to mix into it. Some recommended spirits include: Rumple Mintz, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Stoli Vanil, Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka, Absolut Brooklyn (Limited Edition), Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur or Dekuyper Buttershots.
