MULLED CIDER SURPRISE

Oooo Christmas is imminent and the parties are in full swing. If you are hosting your own Christmas party at home you will want to make this drink for two reasons. Reason number 1 is that it is scrumptious and makes your house smell like the best Christmas grotto in the world. Reason number 2 is most important because, if you guests spill this you won’t have to cover your carpets and furniture in salt to banish those red wine stains. Oh, and wonderfully this drink is really easy to make and you can make a big batch of it. You can leave the drink heating in the pan whilst you are busy touching up your make up. This mulled cider is served with a dash of brandy to give it the perfect kick. For another amazing cocktail recipe which you will love make sure you check out my El Presidente.

INGREDIENTS

Cider

(Liam filled this bottle of brandy with cinnamon sticks last Christmas and it tastes incredible!!)

METHOD

• Pour your cider into a saucepan.
• Pop in your spices such as cloves, star anise and cinnamon sticks.
• Put a lid on the pan and leave to heat gently on a very low heat for as long as needed.
(Longer the better if you want your guests to smell the delicious aromas when they enter your home).
• Serve in cute mugs with a slice of orange skin and a dash of brandy.

I hope you enjoy this scrummy drink and make sure you tag me in any pictures if you do make it.
