Make this adult
This mulled cider is perfect for kids and adults because it is not spiked in the crockpot. To serve mulled cider at a party or get together, place liquor bottles next to the slow cooker for adults to spike their own drink. We found that spiced rum and bourbon were the best in mulled cider.
Storage Instructions
Left over cider can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the slow cooker or drink it cold, both taste amazing!
