Try a Spiked Spiced Cider Cocktail that’s Perfect for Autumn

There are certain signs of fall that are unmistakable.  Leaves start to change, and the weather cools down.  The corn fields turn from green to brown, and the apple orchards open for the season. Now that fall is officially here, be ready for it with an Spiked Spiced Cider cocktail.

When you’re out picking apples, as seems to be a tradition for so many people, pick up some of the fresh pressed cider.  It’s SOOOO GOOD! This Spiked Spiced Cider cocktail can be made un-spiked for the kiddos, too.
