CHRISTMAS SPICED APPLE JUICE |

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Serve this warm spiced apple juice in mugs or heat-resistant glasses. To make it a drink worthy of a celebration, garnish each cup with a cinnamon stick along with lemon and orange slices.

If you’re making a fair amount, a great tip is to fill up a thermos and have it ready to serve to your customers. We couldn’t think of anything nicer on a cold December evening.

And, if you want to make this drink for adults, then why not swap out the apple juice for apple cider, or even add a shot of bourbon?

The juice will last 4-5 days in the fridge, so you can make it well in advance and warm through what you need.

Why serve this over Christmas?

It is good to remember that Christmas is the season of goodwill, so why not use the festive period to build some good will with your customer base? After all, they come to you all year round and this is a very good way to make them join in the Christmas spirit with you. Also, this recipe doesn’t break the bank and doesn’t have any alcohol in so you could give a cupful to people waiting in the queue.
