Cider Mixes

Cider Season, Minus the Orchard Line

Nobody has three hours to simmer apples on the stove, and the drive-thru cider costs more than the gas it took to get there. These instant hot cider mixes give you the cozy, spiced, kitchen-smells-amazing version in about 30 seconds. Stir the mix into hot water, sip, and let everyone assume you've been simmering since noon.

Both are made with hot water, both are caffeine-free, and both work over ice if it's one of those confusing 75-degree October days.

Not sure where to start?

• Spiced Apple Hot Cider Mix: The classic. Sweet apple and warm cinnamon-forward spice, like Grandma's cider without the stockpot.
• Caramel Apple Cider: The fall café order. Same apple and spice, with a smooth, buttery caramel finish.

Can't decide? (Neither can we. Get both.)
