Anyways, normally I love to go all out for Halloween and if we are lucky enough for it to fall on a weekend, then I make every meal "Halloween-ish" from breakfast through dinner. One of my favorite idea's is what I call "Spider Cider":
Ingredients:
1 c. water
2 quarts apple juice
1 c. orange juice
1/4 c. lemon juice
5 or 6 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 T. brown sugar
2 tsp whole cloves
2 or 3 diced apples
Big plastic spiders (make sure that they float so that no one will choke on one!)
In a pot, combine the first 8 ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes. Strain out the cinnamon sticks and cloves and then pour into individual cups (I like to use clear ones). Toss in some chopped apples and drop in a plastic spider.
*This could also very easily be turned into an adult drink by adding Spiced Rum...
