Not long ago our friends had us for Canadian Thanksgiving and had this hot drink to welcome us into their home; it was such a nice day to spend with them. Today the weather was cooler and rainy and we had to go to a Happy Hour for campers and my husband thought it would be a different thing to bring - and it's festive too! Everyone loved it. In the Southern US they call it a "Barn Burner".
Ingredients
1 jug of Apple Cider - 64 oz
3 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cloves
1 pint of Southern Comfort - we call it a Mickey in Canada
When we stopped at the liquor store to buy it Billy asked for a Mickey and the lady had no clue what we wanted. He described it "you know it fits in your coat pocket"..... "oh she says you want a pint". Sure we do!
So we put the cloves and allspice in a small piece of clean cloth (scrap) and tied it with a twist tie. Pour the jug of cider in the pot and put in the bag of spices. Throw in 3 cinnamon sticks. Warm up slowly on the stove then transfer to a slow cooker to stay warm. Take this to the Happy Hour and plug in. Take a ladle and cups and mickey of SC. In each cup everyone can put as much Southern Comfort in as they like - perfect is about 1 1/2 oz to every cup of cider mix. SMILE.
