Notes
What is apple cider? Apple cider is a beverage in the US that is essentially unfiltered apple juice (not to be confused with apple cider vinegar, which should not be used in this recipe). Apple cider can be substituted with regular apple juice. Do not substitute apple cider/apple juice with carbonated or alcoholic apple flavored beverages.
How to batch cocktails: Calculate how many servings you'd like to make and multiply the recipe as needed. For example: to make 12 servings, you'll need 18 ounces of fireball, 18 ounces of vanilla vodka, and 60 ounces of apple cider. Add ingredients to a large pitcher and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Garnish ideas: Apple wedge, cinnamon stick, orange slice, or a dash of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
