Mulled Cranberry Apple Cider

Mulled cranberry apple cider is a comforting sipper on a rainy day by the fire, a crowd-pleaser to stir up and serve at a holiday party, and the perfect cocktail for an après-ski in that mountain cabin you rented for the weekend.

Ingreadient

    • 1/2 gallon apple cider
    • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
    • 2-inch piece ginger, sliced into thin coins
    • 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks, broken apart
    • 5 whole allspice
    • 5 whole cloves
    • Peel from 1 orange
    • 1/2 to 3/4 cup bourbon (optional)
    • Fresh cranberries
    • Orange slices
    • Cinnamon sticks

Direction

  1. Combine all the cider ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. I like to ladle and serve the cider straight out of the pot, along with some of the stewed cranberries, but you can also strain before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh cranberries, an orange slice, or a cinnamon stick.
