It’ll always be time for a party with this twist on a classic holiday drink. This favorite is sure to please any kind of crowd, making it a must-have on a list of fall drink recipes.

The ingredients you’ll need include the following: 1 gallon of apple cider, 1 and a half cups of Jack Daniels or another type of whiskey, half a cup of caramel, 3 cinnamon sticks, 8 apples and lemon juice. Combine the whiskey, apple cider, cinnamon sticks and caramel in a large pot, preferably a Crock-Pot. Cook the mixture on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours. Once the mix is completely warmed through, you can move on to the next step.

Take your apples and slice the top off of each one. Next, remove the inside of each apple using an apple corer. Stop coring when you’re about half an inch away from the bottom of the apple. To ensure that the apples don’t brown, squeeze lemon juice inside each apple cup. Finally, ladle the apple cider into your apple cups. Add cinnamon sticks for garnish and serve.

Be sure to grab a saucepan and spoon to begin combining all of these ingredients.

In your saucepan, warm the whole milk and heavy cream over low heat. Place the candy cane into the mixture and stir until it is completely melted. Next, add in the hot chocolate and vanilla extract and stir well. After removing the mixture from heat, stir in the Kahlua and pour it into a glass.

If you’re looking for an easy way to cozy up on a fall or winter day, a rumchata eggnog can help you achieve your goal. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy solo or with a group of friends and family.

To make the perfect rumchata eggnog, it’s best to prepare the eggnog and cinnamon-sugar rim separately. For the eggnog, you’ll need 5 egg yolks, one third cup of sugar, 2 cups of milk, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, three quarter cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of Rumchata and cinnamon sticks for garnish. For the cinnamon-sugar rim, you’ll need a quarter cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Begin by preparing the cinnamon-sugar rim for each glass. First, mix the cinnamon and sugar on a shallow plate and lightly wet the rim of each glass with water. Dip the rim of each glass into the cinnamon sugar and put the glass aside for the time being.

Next, it’s time to make the eggnog. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large saucepan to combine the ingredients. Add the milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla into the saucepan and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Once the mixture is thick enough to fully coat a spoon, you can remove it from the heat.

Add in the heavy cream and Rumchata and stir. Refrigerate the mixture until it is fully chilled. When it’s ready to serve, pour it into glasses and sprinkle some nutmeg on top. For an extra touch, add cinnamon sticks as garnish.
