Copycat Celebration Cider from Snooze

December 17, 2019 by Jill Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of brunch. And breakfast. Okay…so I’m a big fan of eating; I’m not afraid to admit that. I recently had the chance to check out Snooze A.M. Eatery in San Antonio and I skipped my usual brunch sip (I always have a hard time deciding between a Mimosa and a Bloody Mary) and sampled the Celebration Cider on Snooze’s Holiday Menu. If you’re looking for a good spice cider, I’ve found it for you. 

My husband and I were hosted by Snooze for brunch and we’re sharing the Celebration Cider with permission.

Copycat Celebration Cider from Snooze A.M. Eatery

But I’m not really a cider person…

I’m just not. My husband makes apple cider (not the spiked apple cider) at Christmas and I almost never drink it. When we went to Snooze to sample their seasonal menu, I was really tempted by the robust selection of Mimosas and Bloody Marys on their menu…it’s probably the most extensive brunch cocktail menu I’ve ever seen so if brunch sips are your thing, you need to go check out Snooze. Since the seasonal menu featured two cocktails, I wanted to make sure I tried one while I had the chance, so I went with the Celebration Cider, even though I’m not a cider person. But, for spiked cider, I figured I could make an exception.

The other seasonal cocktail offered is a spiked hot chocolate and the presentation is gorgeous. It’s made with the unlikely combination of peppermint and tequila. My husband enjoyed it but I am not a tequila person more than I’m not a cider person. And yes, there’s a story behind me not being a tequila person but I think I’ll save that one for another time.

But maybe now I am a cider person…

The Celebration Cider at Snooze A.M. eatery was very much to my liking. The boozieness and the lemon added a little something extra to the cider and I’m so excited to share the recipe with you. See also, I’m excited to make this at home this holiday season. I didn’t think I’d be this enthusiastic about spiked cider but here we are.

Celebration Cider – Substitutions and Shortcuts for this amazing spiked cider

Although the recipe calls for steamed, mulled cider, you can easily substitute plain or prepared apple cider. If you want to get all fancy with homemade cider and mulling spices, I’m sure the result is worth the extra effort but I am a “keep it simple in the kitchen” kind of gal most of the time and I would make it with an instant mix like these Alpine Cider Packets. Don’t forget the cinnamon sticks – they make everything better and they’re just the right amount of fancy. 

One of the best parts about Celebration Cider is its simplicity so if making homemade mulled cider sounds too complicated, don’t be afraid to take a shortcut. And, while my cocktail with white rum was 100 percent delish, I don’t think substituting dark rum would make anyone mad. 

Celebration Cider is a deliciously simple spiked cider that’s meant to be enjoyed – so cheers!

Check out Snooze’s Holiday Menu

The Celebration Cider is part of Snooze’s holiday menu. In addition to the plethora of yummy brunch eats they offer (can you say Pancake Flight?) they’ve got a couple of spectacular seasonal dishes you should try. The Nana’s Hot Cocoa Pancakes are pure deliciousness and the Home for the Hollandaise Benny combines unique flavors like habanero pork belly, bacon espresso jam and cranberry relish. It’s definitely not your run of the mill Eggs Benedict. 

The holiday menu is available at Snooze until January 1st so make sure you go and check it out. It’s really my new favorite brunch spot…and don’t you know? 8:00 a.m. is the new happy hour. And don’t forget to make this copycat Celebration Cider at home – I know you’ll enjoy it!

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

I was invited down to South Padre Island this weekend for #NationalCookYourCatchDay and I’m not gonna lie: I was a little nervous. Things could go wrong. I could fall out of the boat, break something or get eaten by a shark. (I have a vivid imagination.)

None of those things happened.

Our boat caught enough keepers to feed us dinner and I wanna go fishing again.  I liked it a lot more than I expected to.

"Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of tru "Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of true education." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I saw a lot of posts about Martin Luther King yesterday when I was doing my scrolls through social media...on a day where I wasn't supposed to be ON social media, ahem. We hear and see a lot of Dr. King's words and quotes one day a year. So, instead of apologizing for posting this "a day late" I'll share that I'm challenging myself to remember some of these important words more than one day a year.

Our kids are watching us right now. I mean...they're always watching us but I think what they see in these times is more important than ever. Nuturing our kids' intelligence and character is more important than ever. My kids are 10 now - this picture is about four years old - and they are absorbing EVERYTHING we say, how we say it and even what we don't say. 

This mural is near the suspension bridge in downtown Waco. Waco is famous for all the Magnolia things but there's a lot there for families, too, and the park around the bridge is a great place to explore along the Brazos River.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.
