fall brew

I love a good signature drink. Whether it's a household favorite or something you always whip up on your favorite holiday, having a house beverage is fun for your guests and mindless for you! Here is my mindless fall favorite that is always a crowd pleaser...Fall Apple Cider (a friend of mine affectionately renamed it 'Witches Brew' after I served it to her one Halloween).

Ingredients:

32 ounces apple cider

750 ml white wine (I like a buttery Chardonnay, but some people prefer Pinot Grigio)

8 ounces apple brandy

Sliced apples, pears and oranges for garnish

Mix all ingredients and chill for at least four hours before serving

Serves 4-8 people (depending on how much they drink!)
