It’s now day seven of The Twelve Boozy Days of Christmas. I apologize if you noticed I missed yesterday. I’m blaming it on the craziness of the holiday season. Yep. We’ll go with that.
Now. About this drink. It’s another one of those that will warm you right through. It mixes two of my favorite things. Cranberry and apple cider…yum! Oh. I forgot to mention it’s even better when you add a little liquor…wink wink…
I like it with a splash of spiced rum but bourbon or whiskey would work just fine too.
Enjoy!!!
