To make a non alcoholic driving and child friendly version simply leave out the rum.
Warm Spiced Sangria
At little bit of effort but using a slow cooker means you just leave it to do its thing!
Ingredients:
8 black peppercorns
6 whole allspice
6 whole cloves
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
3 orange rind strips
3 cups orange juice
1 1/2 cups apple cider
3/4 cup sugar
2 bottles dry red wine
1/2 cup brandy
1 orange, sliced
2 small apples sliced
Preparation:
Place peppercorns, allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and orange rind strips on a 5-inch square of cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth, and tie securely with kitchen string. Combine orange juice, apple cider, sugar, and spice bag in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 2 hours. Stir in wine, brandy, orange slices, and apple slices. Cover and cook on LOW 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Discard spice bag before serving.
Santa Shot
The Santa Shot is a gorgeous little red and green layered shot that tastes like a candy cane. It’s Christmas ascetics combined with Christmas flavors, and it packs plenty of Christmas spirit. You might even want to leave one out for Santa with his cookies.
This is a great treat for parties, especially as an aperitif. If you don’t trust your layering skills under pressure, you can pour these in advance, put them on a serving tray and leave them in the fridge to stay nice and chilled. When the times comes, just pull the serving tray out carefully and carry it in to deliver the drinks to your guests.
Ingredients:
1 part grenadine syrup
1 part green creme de menthe
1 part peppermint schnapps
Preparation:
Pour grenadine to about 1/3 of your shot glass. Carefully layer the creme de menthe, then the peppermint schnapps.
