   Radley – Allie said she thinks this sounds good. I’m not a big fan of cider myself, but we may give it a try.

   Regular cider or alcoholic cider?

   I’ll have to try this. I’m a big fan of the Applejack Rabbit

   1.5 oz Applejack
   .5 oz Orange Juice
   .5 oz Lemon Juice
   .5 oz Maple Syrup

   Shake well over ice (the only way to get maple syrup to blend)

   It goes really well with baked brie or a good, sharp cheddar.

   Mmmm…Bulleit. Possibly the best, moderately priced bourbon in the known universe.

   Hey, that sounds good. Might have to steal it from you. And Bulleit’s a great choice for standing up to the cider.

   Jennie — In Colonial days this would have been made with hard cider, but people were made of sterner stuff back then (or maybe it was just a lot easier to go through life drunk before cars and text messaging). I’d stick with the soft cider.

   Are you taking suggestions for a name? How about “puppy cider”?

    Dust with cinnamon just before drinking.

    Okay, … Nancy.

    ;)

    Just kidding, it does sound tasty.

    Cheers.

    Sounds good. I made a similar drink once with hot rooibos (red) tea, and a little bit of honey (and no lemon). It also tastes like autumn, but in a very different way (drier, and more “earthy” than fruity).

    Sounds a bit like the old Freddy Fudpucker

    4 oz. Apple Cider
    1 oz. Yukon Jack
    Stir with a cinnamon stick
    Microwave until warm.
