Apple Pie in a Jar Drink

This is a very yummy drink! I had it at my cousin's wedding and plan on making it to take up to Pentwater, and again on the annual girls tubing trip in August!



Ingredients
1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
6 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 cups white sugar, or to taste
1 (1 liter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol (such as Everclear™)

Directions
Place the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and sugar into a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and discard the cinnamon sticks. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grain alcohol. Pour into quart-size canning jars, seal with the lids and rings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Footnotes
You can store this in the refrigerator for at least 6 months. I've heard of people storing it for a year or more.
