This delicious boozy hot apple cider recipe has an adult punch to it with brandy and Tuaca added to add an additional warm-up factor. Plus, add homemade boozy whipped cream to make this a treat you will want to drink all winter long!

I love it when it’s cold outside and I can be inside next to a fire with a winter warmer drink in my hand. I always like to have apple cider on hand in the winter for kids and adults. This recipe is pretty easy to make and makes the adult version much better.

Of course, you can use regular whipped cream or skip it if it’s not your jam. I highly recommend the freshly ground nutmeg. It adds a warm and delicious aroma and taste. If you don’t have it handy, you could also use ground cinnamon.
