Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (750ml) bottle apple cider
- 1 cup apple juice
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 4 whole cloves
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 15 caramel candies
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 (750ml) bottle moonshine
- 1/2 cup caramel vodka (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, brown sugar, white sugar, and caramel candies in a large pot.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the flavors are well infused and the candies are melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the spices (nutmeg, ginger, allspice). Let cool slightly.
- Add the moonshine and caramel vodka (if using). Stir to combine.
- Bottle the mixture in mason jars or other airtight containers. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, or up to 2 weeks for a stronger flavor.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices and sweetness to your taste.
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce, but making your own will give you more control over the flavor and consistency.
- If you don’t have whole cinnamon sticks, you can use ground cinnamon. However, the sticks will release their flavor more slowly and evenly.
- Be sure to use moonshine that is safe to drink. You can find clear or flavored moonshine at most liquor stores.
- These recipes can be easily doubled or tripled for larger batches.
