Fall evenings always seem to invite a warm drink, and nothing feels more seasonal than apple cider. Simmered with cinnamon and orange, then poured into mugs rimmed with Sweet Drop, it’s a recipe that makes the whole kitchen smell like autumn.
This one’s less about the steps and more about the gathering. Cider has a way of pulling people in, whether it’s kids running through the door after playing outside, or friends stopping by just long enough to share a cup. With our Sweet Drop cinnamon sugar rim, even a simple cider feels special, like it was made for celebrating. Add some spiced rum for the adults, for those festive occasions!
For us, this is a table recipe. Not because it takes hours or effort, but because it creates space. A warm mug in your hands, a story or two to share, and a reminder that cozy traditions are often the easiest ones to make. Pick up a book or play a game, and enjoy your evening.
