Ingredients for Apple Pie Cocktail

  • 2 cups apple juice
  • Apple Cider
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • Whole Cloves
  • Everclear Alcohol

How to Make Apple Pie Cocktail

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups apple juice and 1 cup apple cider. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 6 whole cloves, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then, carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks.
  4. Once cooled to room temperature, gently stir in 1/2 gallon (64 fl oz) Everclear (or another high-proof grain alcohol of your choice). Adjust the amount of Everclear to your preferred taste.
  5. Carefully pour the cocktail into sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly.
  6. Serve warm (gently heat in a saucepan without boiling) or chilled over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or apple slice, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
