This Spiced Washington Apple Cocktail is a take on my Washington Apple Cocktail. Made with cider, cranberry juice, Winter Jack, and Sprite.

Today is the day my cookbook released.

It’s hard to believe this day is even here.

Especially since I never really planned on writing a cookbook.

But when I finally was approached by a publisher who appreciated my quirks I went for it.

I have a lot of quirks.

A lot of quirks.

Which luckily for me they embraced and let me just be me.

Now, it wasn’t quite the day I imagined.

I had planned on a launch party. With a dog treat truck.

To sign books and to sell some books there.

With all proceeds that day going towards my favorite charity, Old Dog Haven.

But there was no launch party thanks to the current global catastrophe.

In fact for awhile they weren’t even sure it was going to publish on the day that they thought.

Due to all the issue in getting supplies.

I was fortunate enough to be done with all the recipe testing when all this pandemic stuff started.

Because for awhile there it was hard to find some things like flour, sugar, and yeast.

How did I spend the day?

I took one of our dogs to the vet like I do pretty much every week.

Spent some time on social media thanking those that have been supportive.

Our state is on partial lockdown and so I can’t even really go send my husband around to see if it’s at bookstores.

But it’s exciting nonetheless to be a published author.

Today also happens to be Tipsy Tuesday and it happens to fall during  non-traditional Thanksgiving week.

So I’m incorporating that as well.

While wine is usually what you see on the table at Thanksgiving, I think we can all admit that this year requires something stronger.

A lot stronger.

In fact, consider making a large batch of this and putting it in a punch bowl. 😀

The only good thing about our governor wanting us not to meet with our families is politics.

Because man, you probably wouldn’t have enough of these to make it through the day with that ONE uncle everyone seems to have. 😀

To celebrate the launch of my cookbook properly I thought I would make a version of a cocktail that is WILDLY popular on the blog.

How popular?

No matter what time of year it is my Washington Apple Cocktail is always in the top 5 recipes each day.

I thought I would take a winter spin on it by making with with spiced cider and some Jack Daniel’s Winter Jack Tennessee Cider.

And with that the Spiced Washington Apple Cocktail was formed.

I won’t be surprised if it becomes popular as well.

Be sure to order my cookbook...and if you already have, thank you so much!!!

I really appreciate it!

Cheers!
