What You Will Need

1 medium orange sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

Once cooked for 4 hours remove orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise from cider.
Step 4

You can leave the cider in the crockpot on warm after it’s cooked on low for 4 hours and serve it as needed.Which is why I love this recipe to serve at a party.You don’t waste any of your alcohol by making a big batch.
Would love to hear your feedback if you decide to make this. As always, would love it if you have any suggestions on making this drink better 🙂
Thank you for stopping by today!
This is a nice food recipe, thank you for the detailed recipe.
Thank you Chris 🙂
Is there any way to add the rum to the crockpot? I am thinking of serving this to a large amount of people.
Hi Annette,
I normally don’t add it since I don’t want the alcohol to cook out. Which is why I add after. Hope this helps 😉
Hola! I’ve been reading your weblog for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Humble Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙂
This looks like a great drink for an upcoming holiday party! The idea of adding the rum to the glass is terrific! That way each guest can choose between rum, bourbon, red wine etc. Thanks so much! Cheers!
Yes, adding it after (not cooking with it in) makes a huge difference. Plus its also nice to be able to have the option to serve it as a mocktail. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
