November is here!  The weather is getting cooler and you’re probably looking forward to some chilly nights in with a good book, some good friends or that special someone.  This week’s drink of the week is warm hazelnut cider.  Add a little alcoholic warmth to your special night by the fireplace.

What’s in warm hazelnut cider?

Apple cider
Hazelnut liqueur

Ground ginger
Cinnamon

How to make warm hazelnut cider:

Slice up your pears into a few smalls pieces.  Pour the apple cider into a large pot, you will probably need around 1.5 gallons if you are having a few guests over.  Add the pear pieces, ginger (about 2 teaspoons) and cinnamon (about 4 teaspoons) into the pot.  Place your pot on the stove top and bring your mixture to a boil.  Once your mixture is boiling nicely, reduce the heat and let it simmer with no cover for about a half hour.

Once your mixture is ready, fill up some mugs for your guests.  Add 2 oz. of hazelnut liqueur to each mug.  Serve and enjoy. Feel free to add a cinnamon stick as a swizzle stick as an added touch.
