Most hot apple cider mix recipes call for long simmering of apple juice and whole spices, but this shortcut in time is no short cut in flavour!

Between you, me and the apple tree, a shot of whiskey in a mug of hot apple cider is an excellent adult upgrade.

Notes

To Serve for a Crowd- 
Use your instant pot to make this simple to serve to a crowd!
  • For a 6qt instant pot use 4 litres juice, 2 teaspoon spice mix.
  • For an 8 qt instant pot use 6 litres juice, 1 tablespoon spice mix.
Heat on sauté until it start to steam, switch to keep warm, and 15 minutes later you're ready to serve! I leave a ladle in the pot with the lid off, it'll stay nice and hot on keep warm.

    My kids thought this was the perfect after school warm up. It would be really great for when we get firewood as well.
