Remember that time that I added apple cider to this smoothie? Well, I did it again, but this time I made it into a hot drink and added some cherry and cinnamon. Are you intrigued?

 Let me back up a little and share with you my love for apple cider. It’s sweet, refreshing, and loaded with flavor. Apple cider beats apple juice any day of the week for me, and I love that my fridge is always stocked with it come the fall.
Even though apple cider is available year round, I only allow myself to buy it in the fall. It just tastes wrong to me if I have it any other time of the year.
Until now.

Well, technically, it’s still the end of fall, as we’ve got another few days or so until it’s officially winter. But, in my mind, winter starts with Thanksgiving. Know what I mean?
And even though fall and winter treats are hard to distinguish between, apple cider always lands in the fall category for me.
Until I made this Spiced Cherry Cider, which is best for enjoying during the winter months. This drink is filled with sweet apple cider and spiced with cinnamon and cherry gelatin.
