This is a Winter cocktail inspired by the Evil Dead series of movies. It is named after the signature line by protagonist Ash Williams, "This is my boomstick."
Ingredients[]
- 2 cups of apple cider
- 1 Tblsp mulling spices
- 2 oz Ginger brandy
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
Directions[]
- Heat up your apple cider on the stovetop.
- Add the mulling spices by dipping them in with a tea infuser or cheesecloth so you don't get bits in your finished cider.
- Bring it to a simmer for up to 20 minutes, remove and pour.
- Add brandy and stir well.
- You can use a cinnamon stick as a garnish (this also completes the "boom-stick") but it's not necessary.
If you can't find ginger brandy, you can substitute by mincing fresh ginger and adding it to the mulling spices (then using brandy or the liquor of your choice).
If you don't drink, hot mulled cider with ginger is still a delicious treat.
