Apple Pie Jar Cocktail
  1. 1

    Check 9 quart-sized jars for cracks and the rings for rust, and discard any that are damaged. Keep the jars in simmering water until the drink mix is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings with warm, soapy water.

  2. 2

    In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the apple cider, apple juice, sugar, and cinnamon sticks; bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 4 hours, then stir in the grain alcohol.

  3. 3

    Pour the drink mix into the sterilized canning jars. Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove any residue. Place the lids on and screw the rings on tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
