Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apple cider
- 2 cups Apple juice
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 6 sticks Cinnamon sticks
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Whole cloves
- 2 cups Everclear (grain alcohol)
- 2 cups Vodka
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the apple cider, apple juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugars dissolve fully.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Cooling is important to prevent the alcohol from evaporating when added.
Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract, Everclear, and vodka. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain out the cinnamon sticks and cloves. Discard the solids.
Pour the liquid into sterilized bottles or jars with airtight lids.
Store the liquor in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before serving to allow the flavors to blend and mature. Shake gently every few days during the resting period.
Serve chilled or over ice. Enjoy responsibly!
