I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the fall season all year long. I love the cooler air and let’s be honest, it means the return of comfort food, all things pumpkin and apple, and of course, snuggling in with a warm, cozy drink or two! In this case, it just happens to be my Spiked Hot Apple Cider!

Obviously, I didn’t give this to my kids, because obviously – alcohol …. but they did tell me they loved the smell of it while I was preparing it for a few friends for our first fall bonfire of the season! To the kids, it smelled just like an apple pie baking! The adults enjoyed these Spiked Hot Apple Cider cocktails around the bonfire while the kiddos enjoyed hot cocoa with marshmallows. We had a great time! I hope you enjoy this grown-up version of apple cider as much as we did!
