This homemade apple cider with a splash of bourbon warms the soul and cools the nerves as we wrap up the holiday season and get ready for the New Year. It’s perfect for parties and pairs wonderfully with donuts and pastries too. If you want a kid-friendly version, simply leave out the bourbon. Cheers!
