Warm up your evenings with the cozy indulgence of Hot Spiked Cider. Start by selecting quality apple cider, preferably freshly pressed for a rich and authentic flavor. Pour it into a pot and set it on the stove to heat gently.
Enhance the cider with a blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and a hint of nutmeg. Allow the mixture to simmer, letting the spices infuse the cider with a comforting warmth and depth of flavor. As the fragrance fills your kitchen, you’ll feel the anticipation of a delightful autumn beverage.
Take it up a notch by adding a splash of your favorite spirit—whether it’s bourbon, rum, or brandy. The alcohol not only adds a spirited kick but also complements the natural sweetness of the cider, creating a harmonious and inviting drink.
Serve your Hot Spiked Cider in mugs, garnishing with a cinnamon stick or a slice of fresh apple for a touch of elegance. The combination of heat, spices, and a hint of alcohol makes this beverage perfect for chilly evenings, cozy gatherings, or as a festive addition to your holiday celebrations.
Whether you’re sipping by the fireplace or enjoying the crisp air outdoors, Hot Spiked Cider is a comforting and customizable drink that brings people together, making every sip a memorable experience. Cheers to the warmth of autumn in a mug!

Delicious. I added an extra 1/3 cup of the Cider after reading the reviews and it was perfect. I had a cookie and cocktail pairing party and paired this cocktail with apple pie cheesecake cookies. I won best pairing and everyone loved the Cider
Absolutely delicious. The hit of our football tailgate!
Great cider! Made it for a Halloween party and boiled the tea and brown sugar together then placed it all in a crockpot and went through 4 batches of the drink. We left the rum on the side so everyone could drink it however the preferred. By the end of night I had given out the recipe to several people
Delish! Very hot at first then give it a minute in your glass. It stays warm for a bit. When cooled also try it with ice and a splash more rum!
Amazing Recipe!
This was the perfect cocktail for a cool fall night! I added a dash of cayenne for an extra spice!
Made this for Halloween and it was a huge hit with the neighbors. I read in the reviews that you could leave it in the crockpot to keep it warm but we found it wasn't warm enough so we moved it back to the stove on low and left it out for everyone to self-serve. Not sure if my crockpot just wasn't hot enough but that was my experience.We followed the first batch exactly to the recipe but on the second batch we halved the amount of brown sugar and completely skipped the butter. Was just as good and with a little less sugar. Will plan to make again for Thanksgiving with family!
This was a huge hit at my sister's Halloween Party! Would definitely make it again. I skipped the butter.
