Winter just got a little warmer by whipping up this Warm Cranberry Apple Hard Cider - and keeping it that way by storing it in this festive Thermos® bottle! It’s the perfect combo to survive another brisk winter.
Besides sharing this delicious winter warmer, I'm excited to announce not one but 👉TWO awesome giveaways👈... First, check out the giveaway on the Thermos brand FaceBook page where you can enter to win one of TEN Thermos brand bottles. On top of that, Taste And See is giving away a $50 Amazon gift card just in time for the holidays!🎁 Read on for more details, but one way or another we are gonna be a lot warmer this winter thanks to our friends at Thermos®.❤️
Baby it’s getting cold outside in New England!❄️ We’re dipping down into the 30’s and it’s not even Thanksgiving. The B man and I are raking up the last of the leaves, rolling up the hoses, and putting the garden to bed.🍂 Soon we’ll be trading in our green grass for some fluffy white stuff and heading downtown to Boston’s Frog Pond for some annual wintertime ice-skating.⛸ It’s all so fun and festive.
But before we lace up our skates we’ll be mixing up some Warm Cranberry Apple Hard Cider, pouring it into our new Thermos® bottle and taking it to go.👇 It’s such a yummy winter warmer with apple cider, cranberry juice, cinnamon, ginger and your favorite Kentucky bourbon.💫 It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and so pretty when it’s topped off with fresh cranberries and a cinnamon stick. It literally takes 5 minutes to mix up and will be a tasty treat for your next cold weather outing.❄️
Plus, the Thermos® bottle will keep this perfect toasty beverage hot for at least one whole day. Yup! Not even kidding!🙌
Thermos™ vacuum insulation technology ensures max temperature retention, hot or cold... The durable stainless steel interior and exterior stays cool to the touch with hot liquids, and sweat-proof with cold (for maximum insulation efficiency, preheat or prechill with hot/cold tab water, attach lid, let stand 5 to 10 minutes... then empty just prior to use).
That's 24 hours of hot sipping satisfaction!!👏
… Not that our ice skating adventure will necessarily require 24 hours of beverage warmth!😉 Me and the B man are more about the whole experience and less about how many laps we can take around the rink. The struggle is real, but we’re making memories over here… one lap at a time.🤗 Lol
Whether you’re mixing up some hot festive libations for your next holiday party, or taking some on your next sleigh ride... this Warm Cranberry Apple Hard Cider is the perfect hot toddy to keep you and your friends toasty all winter long.✨
(This recipe, of course, is only for those 21+ years of age!)
