This recipe is from our friend, Bob Miller, in St. Pete. If anyone can create a yummy adult beverage, it's Bob.
l/2 gallon apple cider
l/2 gallon apple juice
1 cup sugar
4 or 5 cinnamon sticks
1 bottle Everclear (grain alcohol) 151 proof
Combine first four ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes. Add one bottle grain alcohol.
This concoction keeps quite a while in the fridge (guess it's all that alcohol). Just simmer on stove to rewarm...don't boil or you'll lose your alcohol.
