- Apple Cider Tasting
Start with a few different ciders if you can find them. It doesn't matter too much if you only have one or two choices in your nearby grocery store, your guests will be customizing their drinks anyway.
SPIKE IT UP: Fireball | Screwball | Champagne
SWEETEN IT UP: Honey | Maple Syrup | Caramel Squares | Brown Sugar Cubes
SPICE IT UP: Cayenne | Bitters | Cinnamon Sticks | Star Anise | Red Hots Candies
GARNISH: Dried Apple Slices | Lemon Slices | Cranberries | Sage | Rosemary | Orange
ENJOY!
- BYOA (Bring Your Own Apple)
Apple bars are fun and interactive. Have everyone bring 2 or 3 of their favorite type of apple. When it's time, everyone can choose one they brought, or try something knew from someone else! As the hostess, we suggest setting up your slow cooker with a few jars of dips in a water bath (chocolate, caramel, white chocolate).
Make it a nacho bar! Set out some sprinkles, mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, etc.
