  1. Nicole Walters says:

    5 stars
    I made this for a baby shower in November, and it was a huge hit! Everyone absolutely loved it, and I will use it again for our family Thanksgiving dinner.

    1. Heidi Miller says:

      I am so glad you liked it Nicole! I hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving celebrating with your family!

  2. Georgia says:

    Can you use already made orange juice?

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Georgia… technically yes, you could. However, orange juice would greatly dilute the flavors, so I would stick with orange juice concentrate if you’re able to. Hope that helps! 🙂

  3. Leann says:

    We made this at my baby shower and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone was asking for the recipe and couldn’t get enough. Love that its a fun and refreshing kick to regular apple cider!

    1. Heidi says:

      That’s wonderful… I’m so glad to hear everyone loved it, Leann! And congratulations on your little one!! 🙂

  4. Christie says:

    This is such a perfect drink especially if you’re a big apple cider person like me! I can’t get enough of that deliciousness!

    1. Heidi says:

      Right? It’s so tantalizing, and such a fun drink this time of year! 🙂
