Apple cider is an amazing treat that brings back so many nostalgic memories. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I have fond memories of consuming massive amounts of this warm drink.

What are the Spiced (or spiked) Apple Cider in a Jar used for?

Whether you are in a pinch for a last minute gift idea, or you have a group of people to give gifts to. These are perfect for any occasion.

They are super simple to put together and give as gifts. Give them as gifts to teachers, parents, friends, and family, the ideas are endless!

One of the best things about them is that you can add the basic ingredients, and tailor the rest to your style. This way, the recipient can see the love you put into making them.

Gather the supplies to make them:

• Mason jars- with handles are best. Linked to some cute ones that have gift tags; but you can certainly head to your local craft or dollar store as well!
• Lids for the jars
• Gift tags with twine or string
• Apple cider packets
• Cinnamon sticks
• For spiced cider: star anise, cloves, and all spice
• For spiked cider: apple flavored liquor (whiskey or bourbon, not vodka)

How to assemble the gift jars:

Now for the fun part! Get creative, paint or decorate the jar if you desire. Or, use the gift tags and string as a way to label the gift jars.

Write a note on the card, whether it's simply a "to and from" note, or instructions to mix the drink. Even better, look up whimsical holiday quotes that the recipient will enjoy
