Barn Burner
I always serve hot, spiced apple cider at Thanksgiving — adding a little southern spirit will spice up your holiday. I hope everyone out there has a wonderful Thanksgiving and is thankful for all the big and small things we have to celebrate in life.Hot, Spiced Apple Cider*
1 ½ oz Southern Comfort (per 6oz serving of Cider)
Cinnamon Sticks
Lemon Wedges
Add hot Spiced Apple Cider to a mug or Irish coffee glass, for a small glass add 1oz Southern Comfort, for a larger glass (6oz or more) add 1 ½ oz Southern Comfort. Squeeze the juice of one lemon wedge into your drink and add the wedge to the cup. Stir with a Cinnamon stick and leave the stick in as garnish and for additional flavor.

Use any Spiced Cider recipe you like or try this: Pour ½ gallon of cider (or more) in a large pot, add 1 Tablespoon Cloves, 4 – 6 cinnamon sticks, 1 Tablespoon minced, fresh ginger, ½ teaspoon of grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon allspice. Feel free to play with the spice mixture and season to your taste. Bring cider to a simmer and lightly simmer for 10 more minutes before serving.
