Besides this drink being the perfect pair for the recent cold, fall weather, it is the perfect pregame drink if you are heading to the Luke Combs concert on Thursday or Friday at the United Center.

The Kentucky Mulled Cider recipe calls for bourbon - preferably Maker's Mark, apple cider, allspice, and a cinnamon stick and lemon slice for garnish. I added whipped cream to the top of mine -- and then sprinkled the allspice on top!

So who's ready to mix things up?
