1teaspoonstrained fresh lemon juice (or more to your taste)
½teaspoonhoney (or less if your apple cider is on the sweet side)
cinnamon stick, apple slice, or lemon wheel to garnish
Instructions
Combine the apple cider, water, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a bare simmer.
Meanwhile, combine the vodka and lemon juice in a mug.
Strain the hot spiced cider into the mug, discarding the solids. Stir in the honey until melted. Taste, adding more lemon or honey to balance the drink if need be.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick, apple round, and/or lemon wheel and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have any honeycomb vodka on hand, try this with regular vodka. Or go traditional with a shot of whiskey instead.For a non-alcoholic version, leave the booze off, or use a 2-ounce shot of Seedlip Grove. It adds similar complexity as honeycomb vodka.
