Notes
Tip: You can keep apple cider warm on the stove with a couple bottles nearby, and let guests serve themselves. Then they can have it plain if they prefer.
No apple cider mix? You can substitute some cinnamon sugar, or add sugar, some cinnamon sticks and whole cloves to the apple cider while you warm it up on the stove for a similar flavor.
Alcohol options: Feel free to use another type of whiskey, like rye or Irish whiskey, or a flavored whiskey, like cinnamon, apple or caramel whiskey. If you're not a whiskey fan, you can use brandy, caramel vodka, vanilla vodka or spiced rum instead.
