stone fence

This is a really nice and festive fall/winter cocktail.  We've served it two Thanksgivings in a row -- and is sure to be a crowd favorite!

Recipe -- "The Stone Fence"

3  cups  apple cider

3/4  cup  Calvados (apple brandy)

1/8  teaspoon Angostura bitters
1  (26 oz.) bottle sparkling apple juice ice
8  slices unpeeled apple
8  cinnamon sticks

 

This drink is incredibly simple to prepare.  Just combine apple cider, brandy and bitters in a pitcher and poor over ice.  To finish it off, garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon stick!  But be careful, this thing will sneak up on you...
