Thirsty Thursday - Dailys Hard Cider & Dailys #Giveaway

This past summer, I was introduced to Dailys cocktail pouches. They are perfect for freezing and taking to the pool. They are very convenient. I also use them as ice pouches for my shins! They conform perfectly after a long run. Don't worry, I do not drink the ones I use as ice pouches!

Daily's recently came out with two limited edition seasonal beverages. Hard Cider and Spiced Sangria. I drink a ton of hot apple cider during the winter. This beverage is also has multiple uses. The second I feel a sniffle coming on, I whip up a batch, call Dr. Feel Good (Jack Daniels) and make myself a spiked cider. I had to give Daily's hard cider a test. It could save me so much time in the kitchen during the winter. Plus, I could have a stash on hand when I feel a little blue.

I used one pouch to make two different variations. A hot version and a martini. The apple flavor in both is really good. They are not too strong, so you can add a little floater of your choice. Both Gabe and I really liked the hard cider pouch.

With the martini, I made a cinnamon sugar rim and used lemon juice to adhere it. A slice of an apple and a couple of shakes in my martini shaker and you have an instant spiced apple martini. For this drink, I would put a little floater of apple vodka and you have a Jack Frost approved appletini.

For the hot version, I put 8oz into a measuring cup, microwaved for 2 minutes and poured into a coffee mug, included a stick of cinnamon and voila - spiked apple cider. As hard as it is for me to admit - it is as good as the apple cider I make all day long. Thank you for saving me time and a kitchen mess Dailys!

Now for the giveaway. I want you to tell me how you like your apple cider. Do you spike it? Do you drink it in a special  mug? I will select three winners (21+ only of course) to win a Daily’s insulated lunch tote.
