Mulled Gin Cider

Cozy up with a warm blanket and a cup of this Mulled Gin Cider this fall!

Drinking hot apple cider on a cool, crisp evening is one activity I look forward to each fall. Even better if it can be enjoyed next to a fire. This Mulled Gin Cider will make you feel even warmer on the inside with the addition of gin! #yesplease

I love all of the fall spices and flavors in this easy cider recipe. The smell of fresh apple, orange slices, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon fill the house while this simmers on the stove top.

Making Mulled Cider

This recipe is pretty simple and is the perfect option if you’re having friends or family over this fall. You could always double the recipe if you need to serve more people! While I haven’t tried this recipe in the slow cooker, I’m sure it would still turn out great if you wanted to add all of the ingredients (except gin) to the vessel, and set on low for about 4 hours.

Since the alcohol isn’t added until the end, you can easily make this a non-alcoholic beverage. People can add desired amount of gin to their own personal cup and mix before enjoying. This keeps everyone—both kids and adults—happy!
