Sometimes even adults need treats instead of tricks.

If you like your calories and sweets in the form of alcohol instead of candy, this is the drink for you.

While drinking around lots of kids might not be the best scenario, this is a recipe to keep for the long winter ahead. This will also give you a reason to load up on cider from Apple Hill.

The problem is that it goes down way too easy.

Adult Hot Apple Cider

2 shots bourbon

4 shots apple cider

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp ginger

2 cinnamon sticks, optional

Bring apple cider, nutmeg and ginger to a boil. Remove from heat and add bourbon. Divide into two glasses.
