  1. Another of those recipes I am testing out for possible making again the end of this year, so I cut it in half this time around & there'll definitely be another "time around" 'cause this is A GREAT TASTING BEVERAGE! I did take a few liberties with the recipe, though, in that I used cheesecloth to contain the cloves, allspice & cinnamon & then DIDN'T strain out the cranberries but left them in along with the lemon & orange slices! More than just for decoration, I served this beverage with a small spoon so that anyone who wanted to could either scoop out & discard the fruit pieces OR eat them (as I did, with pleasure)! ABSOLUTELY GREAT [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag]
     
  2. This is delicious! I served it at our Christmas dinner and everyone loved it. I did not use the ginger ale, but added fresca instead. Most of the adults added some Captain Morgan spiced rum to theirs. It was a great change of pace to the regular mulled ciders. made and Reviewed for Photo Tag - Thanks! :)
