Apple Pie Schnapps-Adult Beverage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 gallon apple juice (unfiltered or the kind in the refrigerated section)
1 gallon apple cider
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 -6 cinnamon sticks (or 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon if no cinnamon sticks)
2 tablespoons mulling spices (if no mulling spices, add the spices you add to apple pie, such as 3 cardamom cloves, 1/2 tsp ground)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (may use 1 tbsp lemon zest instead)
1 liter ever clear grain alcohol (if you would like it stronger add up to a 1/2 liter more of Ever Clear but remember Ever Clear is 15)

Preparation

Bring all ingredients EXCEPT EVERCLEAR to a soft boil. Simmer for 30-45 minutes.
Let cool and stir in Everclear. If you prefer a clear liquid, strain the mixture before adding the Everclear.
I store the majority of it in the juice bottles that it came inches For gifts, I either pour into a mason jar with a fresh cinnamon stick or pretty glass bottle with a cork or stopper.
Store in the fridge, serve hot, like regular cider or iced. Also great for mixing into other cocktails.
I serve this with Arroz con Leche on cold nights for dessert.
