25 Drinks: Brandy Cider

After seeing wine advent calendars over the years, I decided to do a boozy December of my own. I have a box downstairs randomly filled with spicy reds and rich stouts set aside for this month. But getting over a cold on Day 1, I already cheated and I went with a rich apple cider and a shot of brandy.

I warmed up about half a mug of thick cider then poured in a healthy shot of brandy. 

Don't heat it up together or you'll lose some of the boozy goodness.

I didn't add in any spices to make it fancy, but it hit the spot.
