That's awesome Greg...seriously. I'd be even more impressed if you used an Etch-a-Sketch to do that...... BTW...which Nomad is mine....?

You have a lot more talent than I do, I can barely scribble.

Tricia and I were indeed there.... Our room was right next door to Greg and his wife. The evenings on the porch were very enjoyable I might add...!

Some really smooth tequila, as I recall.

Hey Kris, Are you bringing another bottle of that fine tequila to Colorado?

You know....I make a mean "Moonshine Apple Pie"...so I might bring a half gallon of that instead. If you've never had it....the recipe calls for a mix of Apple Juice, Apple Cider, Sugar, Cinnamon, Everclear....and I add Vanilla Vodka for a little somethin' extra...! It is a major hit around my place....so you guys might get lucky. I'm having a hard time finding that brand of Tequila lately anyways.

There are many variations of this....but here is how I did my last batch. Feel free to experiment. You barely taste any booze in this and it is a really great sipping drink. Let me know how you like it!

Apple Pie

Starters-
½ Gallon Apple Juice (1892.5 ml)
½ Gallon Apple Cider (1892.5 ml)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
½ Cup White Sugar
4 Cinnamon Sticks

Mix in pot and bring to boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to simmer for about an hour. The longer it simmers, the more juice will evaporate off (see notes below). Let mix cool to room temp before adding the alcohol. Pour finished product into 1 qt. Jars and add one fresh cinnamon stick to each jar. Should make around 5 jars of some great hooch!

Booze-
1- 750 ml Everclear (190 Proof)
· 712ml alc - 38ml non-alc
1- 750 ml Vanilla Vodka (70 Proof)
· 262ml alc – 488ml non-alc

Initial Breakdown-
4311 ml non-alcohol
974 ml alcohol
974 divided by 4311 = .23

23% Alcohol by Volume (see notes)

Notes: My last batch was boiled/simmered for about 2 hours, releasing a heavenly cinnamon flavor. Doing so burned off about 1 quart of the initial 4 quarts of juice mix before I added the alcohol, making the actual alcohol content roughly 29% by Volume.
