When tailgating for a night game sometimes a cold beer does not appeal. It’s getting cooler at night which means a warm beverage would be most appreciated. Amaretto spiced apple cider to the rescue! But instead of being spiked with rum I used amaretto. The almond flavor pairs exceptionally well with apples. It’ll warm you up from the inside.

But wait, here’s some more spiced apple cider:

• Apple Cider Mule
• Apple Cider Palmer (non-alcoholic)
• Cranberry Apple Cider Sangria
• Orchards be Dram-ed (Spiced Apple Cider Cocktail)
• Salted Caramel Apple Cider Bliss

Here’s what everyone brought to the table today…
