Here's an old Marine Corps recipe... the first "recruits" would get "all they could drink" and awaken the next morning on a ship, musket in hand, with a hearty, "Welcome to the Marines!"
Tun Tavern Cider-
Put 10 cinnamon sticks, a tablespoon of allspice, and six cloves into a piece of cheesecloth, tie it up tight, and drop it into a pot of simmering apple cider (about a gallon)... let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Ladle cider into a mug, drop in a shot of Caribbean rum (spiced Captain Morgan works well), throw a slice of orange on top, and sprinkle on some nutmeg...
Great for taking the chill off after shoveling snow!
