CIDER HOT TODDY

This time of year, we in the Northeast US get to take exhilerating walks in the woods as we gaze at the magnificent colors of the leaves before they head south (ie, to the ground) for the winter.

Coming home to a blazing fire, sitting on the floor in front of the fire is the stuff of stereotype. But, you can come home to a cider hot toddy….

CIDER AND TEQUILA HOT TODDY

4 cups apple cider
1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur

In a saucepan heat cider and cranberry juice cocktail just until hot (do not let boil) and remove from heat. Stir in tequila and liqueur. Serve toddies in mugs, garnished with lime slices.

Makes about 6 cups. L’chaim!
