Apple Cider

[Thump]

Making a mixed drink for the first time this weekend using apple cider.

1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
a fifth of 151
few teaspoons of honey
cinnamon sticks

Anyone had a drink like this before and wondered if it was best served cold or warm?


Was going to serve it warm.

Please to be replacing the 151 with Capt Morgans, you can thank me later. Oh, warm. Definitely warm.

It's for a whole group of people, so it should go fast.

Not expecting one person to drink 1/2 gallon. Maybe a cup per person.

G Lee is right. Use the captain, or some other spiced rum rather than 151. You won't regret it. It just tastes much better with spiced rum. Maybe throw a couple cloves, and orange slices in there too.

I have some Tuaca and a little Captain at home I could throw in.

What's wrong with the 151?

It is definitely because of flavor, not the potency. Trust me on this, you will not regret it. Personally I am not a big fan of cloves but the oranges sound like a nice touch.

Probably just not fans over the overpowering taste of alcohol associated with the 151, I say if you like it, let it stay. I like 151 but
Captains sounds real good though for a large party, more user friendly for you and the people

How much hooch did you add?

nothing is wrong with it, its just the spiced rum will blend with the cider much better, it is typically flavored with Cinnamon, vanilla, and other spices. Just tastes better. If you want it to kick their ass, stay with the 151

not sure... my wife always made it... I think she just added some until she liked the way it tasted.... I don't think it was much... I'll have to see if she knows.

I was thinking of adding just a touch of vanilla extract even though I know it is bitter.

I'll just add more cider if the 151 too strong.

Another vote for The Captain.

Incidentally, I did a Google Image search for Captain Morgan, because I was just going to post an image link here instead, but I figured you wouldn't know what it meant when I got the search results back:
