Apple Cider Vodka @vmburns #recipe #Christmas

 V. M. Burns: I have been looking for a beverage that embraces the flavors of the season. Nothing says autumn like Apple Cider. I found this drink on Mybartender. I made a few minor modifications. The original recipe was for a cold beverage on ice, but it's getting chilly in Northern Georgia and I wanted a warm drink. So, I heated my apple cider and skipped the crushed ice. I also tried it without the Ginger ale and I liked it just fine. Nothing says Autumn like apples and cinnamon.



APPLE CIDER VODKA 

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces apple cider
  • 2 ounces ginger ale
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 Honeycrisp apple slice for garnish
  • 1 cinnamon stick for garnish

Instructions

  1. For a warm drink, heat the apple cider in the microwave for approximately 1 minute (Optional), and then add the ginger ale and vodka. Or, for a cold drink, pour in the apple cider, vodka, and ginger ale over the ice.
  2. Mix the ingredients well.
  3. Garnish with a slice of Honeycrisp apple and a cinnamon stick.
  4. Serve immediately

  • A CUP OF FLOUR, A PINCH OF DEATH



  • On the shores of Lake Michigan, influencer Maddy Montgomery has turned the bakery she inherited from her great aunt Octavia into a destination. There’s just one thing she won’t post: the body in the freezer . . .

  • Thanks to Maddy’s social media savvy, Baby Cakes Bakery is becoming a huge success—so much so that she’s attracted the attention of her former nemesis, the fiancé-stealing Brandy Denton. When Brandy blows into New Bison like an ill wind and disrupts a vlog Maddy’s filming, their argument goes viral. After Brandy’s body is found in the freezer at Baby Cakes, Maddy instantly goes from viral sensation to murder suspect.

  • AS Maddy is still reeling from the murder, a stranger shows up in the bakery claiming to have been a friend of Octavia. He believes Maddy is in danger. When a second body washes up on the lake shore, it seems clear someone’s out to kill to keep a secret—and it may have to do with her great aunt.

Maddy rallies her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars; Sheriff April Johnson; and her veterinarian boyfriend Michael—not to mention her English mastiff Baby—to do some digging and root out whoever’s behind the killings. . .

  2. My confused eyes first read this as apple cider vinegar. That would be quite a drink!

  3. Fall is all about baking and the aromas that come from the kitchen. The colder it gets to more I bake. It kills 2 things at 1 time - baking and heating the house. Since I just finished a double batch of Snickerdoodles for refreshments tonight and tomorrow at the Bethlehem walking tour at the Mennonite Church down the road, cinnamon is definitely one of the fall flavors. Love the smell of fresh bread, which I'd fix more often than I do, but then I'd not be able to fix through the doorframe.

    Thank you for the drink idea. We love apple cider come fall.

    1. I would agree that cinnamon is one of the flavors/scents of fall for me. And, I bake more as it gets colder. LOVE snickerdoodles, too.

    1. Me too! Last year, I drove to several places trying to find a hot apple cider drink. Starbucks actually had one.
