I love putting on a pot of mulled cider before guests come over. It makes the house smell amazing and it's a great cold weather drink that everyone can enjoy. I leave out the alcohol and let each person add their own.
1 qt. apple cider
5 cinnamon sticks
2 Tbsp whole allspice berries
2 inches ginger peeled and sliced
1 oz The Bitter Housewife Dead Guy Chicory Bitters
In a medium saucepan combine the apple cider with the spices and bring to a bare simmer. Cook for at least 10 minutes, then turn down to low to hold for serving guests. Use a ladle to serve about 6 oz into a mug, add 1.5 oz of whiskey if desired.
