Name: Sarasota's Warm Apple/Cranberry/Orange Spiced Cocktail
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 cups apple cider (not apple juice, it really makes a difference); 3 cups cranberry juice (100% pure cranberry); 1 cup orange juice (no pulp, but fresh, I just use 2-3 fresh whole oranges and juiced them myself, strained the pulp out); ¼ cup honey; 3 cinnamon sticks; 4 whole cloves; 4 orange strips (peel long strips off the orange part, don't get the white it is bitter); 1 cup dark rum (not Myers dark rum, but any golden or Barcadi Rum for example); ½ cup brandy; fresh cranberries; 1 orange, cut in half and thin sliced

Servings: persons

8 cups apple cider (not apple juice, it really makes a difference)
3 cups cranberry juice (100% pure cranberry)
1 cup orange juice (no pulp, but fresh, I just use 2-3 fresh whole oranges and juiced them myself, strained the pulp out)
¼ cup honey
3 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
4 orange strips (peel long strips off the orange part, don't get the white it is bitter)
1 cup dark rum (not Myers dark rum, but any golden or Barcadi Rum for example)
½ cup brandy
fresh cranberries
1 orange, cut in half and thin sliced

1
Base -- In a big pot, just mix on medium low heat the orange juice, apple cider, cranberry juice, honey, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and orange strips.
2
Note, if using your fresh oranges for your orange juice, peel off the orange strips before you squeeze your orange, it is so much easier.
3
I just took a knife and peeled a few long strips.
4
Simmer -- On medium low heat for about 25 minutes uncovered.
5
This can also go into a crock pot and cooked 1 hour on high or med for about 2 hours and low for about 3, just until warm.
6
All crock pots are a bit different, so just check until nice and hot.
7
Serve -- Take a strainer or slotted spoon to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks from the cider.
8
Then mix the brandy and rum in a measuring cup so you just pour a little into each cup as you serve them.
9
Add a few cranberries and a orange slice to the bottom of your mug, a good shot or so of the brandy/rum mixture and top with the cider.
10
A great drink for the whole family.
11
ENJOY!
