Fall is my favorite season. Cooler temperatures are coming.
Fairytale like displays of gorgeous white and “Cinderella” Â pumpkins cast their magic spell.
I snapped this picture on a recent trip to Central Market.
Passing gourds and pumpkins of every shape and size really whets my appetite for autumn.
Which makes me think about sipping one of my absolute favorite fall drinks: spiced apple cider.
Apple cider is fun to make before the football game, dinner with friends or instead of coffee or cocktails.
Serve it warm or over ice.
Serve it straight up for children of all ages or, for a festive fall cocktail, add a shot of spiced rum or cinnamon schnapps.
(If you like signature cocktails, you might also like this ruby red sangria or white sangria recipe.)
Aromatic cinnamon, cloves and star anise make the whole house smell good.
Serve apple cider with these tasty baked apple chips and some spiced nuts.
The recipe below makes enough for sixteen servings, but you can easily cut this recipe in half or refrigerate for a few weeks.
