What to put in apple cider...
I want to make a tastey alcoholic beverage for pre-football game festivities...I was thinking hot cider...but what type of alcohol should I use? Also should I put other stuff in? I've never made it this way (usually just drink it cold).
Re: What to put in apple cider...
Ditto Captain Morgan (or any spiced rum).
Sounds yummy!!
Spiked Apple Cider (from Rachel Ray)
2 quarts apple cider
1 cup apple brandy
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon curry powder
In a large pot, combine all the ingredients over high heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and keep warm. To serve, strain through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher and pour into mugs.
Hot Apple Cider with Rum (from Emeril)
1 apple
2 teaspoons whole cloves
1 orange, thinly sliced
2 quarts apple cider
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon allspice
Pinch grated nutmeg
1 cup dark rum
Cinnamon sticks, garnish
Stud the apple with the cloves. In a medium pot, combine the studded apple and remaining ingredients except the rum. Slowly bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the rum. Discard the apple. Ladle into mugs and garnish each with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.
