The weather outside is frightful and this delicious berry cider recipe is the perfect drink to take the chill away in these winter months.  With only a few affordable ingredients, this cider is simple to make which is always a score, right?  And you could even throw it in the crockpot and let it simmer all day for the perfect refreshment after skating or a neighborhood snowball fight.

 Sleigh Rider Cider

 2 quarts apple cider

1 {16 ounce} can frozen raspberry cocktail concentrate, thawed

2 cinnamon sticks

1 cup frozen blackberries, thawed

1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, combine the cider, raspberry concentrate, and cinnamon sticks.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and heat for 8 to 10 minutes, so that it’s warm through. Add the berries. Let the berries cook for 2 minutes. Stir. Pour into festive heat-resistant glasses or mugs.

Serves 8 to 10.
