Someone gave my husband a mason jar of this deliciousness and we shared it with the family during my sons third birthday party. L o l. We liked it, a lot. 2 days later, we made our own batch! I guess this is technically a hard cider since we aren't distilling the booze Dukes of Hazzard style. But, close enough. There are plenty of variations of this recipe all over the internet. Here is the one that was passed on to us!
Ingredients
1 750ml size bottle of Everclear or 190 proof grain alcohol
1 gal apple juice
1 gal apple cider
1.5 cups white sugar
1.5 cups brown sugar
8 cinnamon sticks
Directions
In a large pot, bring the juices, sugar and cinnamon sticks to a boil.
Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture is completely cool, add the alcohol.
Transfer the liquid to sterile mason jars and divide the cinnamon sticks up between them. We used quart sized jars and it make about 9!
My Redneck wine glass - testing it out.
You can drink it immediately but it's supposed to get better after it mellows out for a couple of weeks. Be careful how much you drink...it can sneak up on you! Slainte!
