Question

I need a recipe for apple cider with alcohol in it! Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Spiced cider: 1 gallon apple cider - 2 cups spiced rum

Regular cider: 1 gallon cider - 2 cups everclear

Sour apple cider: 1 gallon cider - 4 cups sour apple snaps

Answer 2

you can either buy it or ferment it yourself; I prefer to buy it

Answer 3

To make hard cider.

you will need:

1 gallon apple juice (pastuerized...no preservatives)

2 1/2 to 3 pounds sugar (some people like brown sugar but either will work)

1 gallon water

1 package wine yeast

add the sugar to the water, bring to a boil, turn off and cover.  let it cool,  add to a fermenting vessel, add apple juice and yeast, cover & attach an airlock....give a week or 3 to ferment, then enjoy.

Some people add things like a stick of cinnamon or some cloves to the boiling water...but this not necessary...but it can give your cider a nice taste.  I've used orange spice tea before also and it's pretty good if you want a spiced cider.

To make simple cider,  - for people who don't have experience brewing or have airlocks at home.

get some pasteurized apple juice (no preservatives)

add some wine yeast to it

leave cap on bottle/jug kind of loose or put a balloon over the rim so as not to have an exploding bottle

let it ferment for a week or two.

This cider will also have alcohol in it, but near as much as the first recipe.

Answer 4

1 Jug Apple Cider + 4-6 Cinnamon Sticks + 1 TBSP Whole Cloves....simmer in pan on stove until warm.  Add Vodka to taste.  Mmmmmm

Answer 5

You can buy it.
