Out east on Long Island we go apple and pumpkin picking every year. I bought some fresh apple cider and wanted to serve it at a neighborhood Halloween gathering I was having. I came up with this recipe for spiced apple cider, which I thought all the children would love. For the adults, my daughter and I turned it into a fun, seasonal cocktail. It was such a hit that I decided to make it for Thanksgiving. I filled a glass dispenser and everyone could choose if they wanted the cocktail or the virgin beverage!
