Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients

    • Pour apple juice, apple cider, and cinnamon sticks into a large stockpot. Bring to a simmer until cinnamon sticks uncurl or until mixture starts to boil.
  2. Add Sugar

    • Stir in sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat. 
  3. Combine with Everclear

    • Let the mixture cool to 160°F (71°C). Carefully stir in Everclear.

      It's important to cool the mixture since Everclear boils at around 170°F (77°C) and would evaporate if added to a hotter mixture.
  4. Jar and Seal

    • Immediately transfer the hot mixture to clean mason jars. Seal the jars tightly. As the mixture cools, a vacuum seal will form.
  5. Serve

    • Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
