Welcome! I am a mom to two wonderful kids, a lovely retired greyhound, and a wife to a great husband. Needless to say, there are a lot of daily messes to clean up around our house. Daily Messes is my blog to share ideas on things to do with your kids, snack and meal ideas, crafts, and holiday fun. I hope you find something to enjoy!

Have Your Cider And Eat The Cup Too!


These are a super cute way to serve juice and a snack in the same container!

You will need:
  • Apple Cider
  • Cranberry Juice
  • Seltzer Water
  • Apple (1 per drink)
  • Cinnamon Stick (1 per drink)
  • Melon Baller
  • Lemon juice, optional

Directions:

1. Cut the top off of the apple and brush the top with lemon juice to keep from
    browning.
2. Use the melon baller and scoop out the insides. Leave a wall about an 1/8" thick.
    Set the apple balls aside to serve as a snack. To keep them from browning, set
    in a bowl of lemon juice water.

3. Mix equal parts apple cider, cranberry juice, seltzer water and place in the apple
    cup.
4. Stick in a cinnamon stick. Serve and enjoy!


ALTERNATIVES:
  • You can use apple juice instead of apple cider.
  • I didn't want to waste money on seltzer water when we wouldn't use it again, so I used a sparkling cranberry juice.
  • For younger kids, use a straw!

  2. I'm in the Midwest also (although I'm from New England). I also recently posted about going apple picking! My favorite thing to do on a snowy day is to sit by the fire with some hot apple cider (although I admit that I add Grand Marnier to mine). Can't wait to try it in a apple "cup", thanks for the great idea!
