Here’s a recipe for gray days and chilly evenings by the fire: mulled cider! Not only will it lift your spirits, it makes your kitchen smell like a candle shop. Alex and I made it for friends the other day, and instantly everyone gathered around the pot, chattering and cupping their hands around the warm mugs. Yes, it cultivates community too! Mulled cider is great for entertaining (like Thanksgiving and Christmas), and it’s easy to make on the stove or a slow cooker. Ready to get started? What are mulled cider spices? Mulled cider is the very best cozy drink! Infused with spices like cinnamon and cloves, you can make it in a slow cooker or on the stove.Mulled cider is made with whole spices, which infuse the entire drink with that signature cozy flavor. If you taste straight apple cider, you’ll find the flavor is crisp and apple forward. But after simmering with mulling spices, the flavor blossoms into something warm and spiced. Because dried and ground spices would end up making the drink cloudy, you’ll use whole spices for the simmering. Mulled cider spices include:

Alcohol. If you'd like to turn this into a boozy slushie, simply add 2-3oz of your favorite alcohol. I'd suggest dark or spiced rum, bourbon, or vodka. Maple syrup. This adds just a touch of extra natural sweetness and flavor to the cider slushies. It can be omitted if you'd prefer a less sweet version. Add up to 3oz of alcohol to the slushies. It can either be blended in to the entire recipe, or added to the top of each glass as a floater.Bake them into a dessert: You can use the gin-soaked plums as an ingredient in a baked dessert, such as a plum clafoutis or a plum upside-down cake. Strain if desired. Some brands of apple cider have some particulate in the bottom of the jug. This is completely expected! You can strain off any particulate that rises to the top, or just stir to re-incorporate it.

If you don't have a blender, you can also make it in batches in a food processor, or even in an ice cream maker. Spices. If you can't find spiced apple cider (as mentioned above), you'll need around cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.Garnish last. If you cook mulled cider with fruit like orange slices and apple slices, they’ll fall to the bottom and the color will fade. Instead, use them as a garnish after cooking: it looks beautiful for serving! This mulled cider is fabulous on it’s own, but you can step it up by stirring in rum at the end! The rum adds a bit of warmth and takes it to another level. Spiked mulled cider is the perfect party drink! If you’re serving a party where not everyone is drinking, you could also leave out the rum and let guests add a splash to their own drinks. The quantity in the recipe below adds only ½ tablespoon rum per glass: so all you need is a small swig! More cozy drinks
