½ gallon of apple cider 

2 satsuma oranges 

1 honey crisp apple 

3 cinnamon sticks 

10 cloves 

Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye whisky 

Thinly slice the oranges and apple horizontally. Pour the cider into a large pot and add the slices of fruit, the cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes until it is fragrant. Fill up mugs about three-quarters full and add about an ounce of rye whiskey to each mug. Garnish with an apple or orange slice, half a cinnamon stick, and cloves.
