- Add the whiskey to the apple cider and serve in your favorite mug.2 oz. whiskey
Notes
- Don't leave the drink over the heat once the whiskey is added, or the alcohol will evaporate.
- Jack Daniel’s is my go-to whiskey, but you could use Scotch or Irish whiskey. For a less strong drink, use half the whiskey.
- I find the garnishes make the drink feel special, so don't omit them.
- Maple syrup works well in place of honey, but don't omit sweetener altogether.
- Make your own apple cider or use store-bought.
- Leave the pot on the stove to keep the drink warm or use the crockpot.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
