Here’s how to make it, starting with a homemade cider recipe and then directions to take it to the next step and turn your cider into a non-alcoholic party drink!

    I bet the house smells yummy while the apples are simmering. Great recipe, look forward to trying it.

    Looks yummy! We are big cider fans around here but usually go for the warmed and spiced version. This sounds like a lighter tangy version which would be great for parties.
    I am co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty link party this month and would love to have you stop by for a visit. The door opens for the next party Friday at midnight! http://www.alaynascreations.co

    I’ve never made my own apple cider. I always thought it was a difficult process, but this seems doable. And delicious!

    I’m hosting a link party over on my blog, and I’d love to have you link this up! http://winsteadwandering.com/alder-collective-link-party-no-2/

    What an awesome idea- I bet this would be perfect for thanksgiving! I love how it’s non-alcoholic since I’m pregnant and limited on my festive drink options (although I bet it would also be delicious with some spiced rum for my husband)!

    I stopped by from Motivation Monday.

    This sounds amazing – I’ve been wanting to make my own cider for awhile now and I think it’s time I finally got around to it because those drinks look sooo good!

    I am a huge fan of cranberry anything. I love the tartness mixed with sweeter flavors like apple!

    That sounds delicious! I’m a big fan of anything with cranberry in it. It’s got such a great flavor.

    That sounds good. I don’t think I have ever tried to make my own apple cider and I have never had it with cranberries.

    I love both apple cider and cranberry juice, they’re two of my favorites. I’d love to try this cider!
