Apple Pie Drink (Cocktail)
Delicious around the campfire or for surviving the holidays, this apple pie alcoholic drink is sweet, delicious, and strong. Serve hot or iced.
Servings: 20 (or more) cocktails
Ingredients
- 1 gallon apple juice
- 1 gallon apple cider
- 1 cup organic sugar
- 10 organic cinnamon sticks
- *1 - 750 ml bottle 151 proof grain alcohol I used Everclear
Instructions
- In a large pot (this may require a few), combine apple juice, apple cider, sugar and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil. Allow to simmer until sugar is fully dissolved, about ½ hour, or up to 2 hours for extra cinnamon flavor!
- Remove from heat and allow cider mixture to cool completely.
- Once slightly cooler, stir in the grain alcohol.
- Serve hot or over ice for a cold drink.
- Make sure to save the apple cider and juice jugs as this can be used to store all of the extra apple pie! I know a lot of people who have stored this for months at room temperature and been fine, however as an extra safety precaution I recommend storing apple pie in the fridge.
Notes
*You do not need to purchase a large stockpot to make this recipe. If needed, just divide it amongst smaller pots, make a half a batch at a time, or use half the liquid in the recipe during the warming/heating process then mix with the additional apple cider and juice at the end.
*I recommend using Everclear which I have not had any issues with and according to what I’ve read online is gluten-free and made from corn. However, if you do want to verify for yourself, they are owned by Luxco.
