We get it, the world is a pretty weird place right now. Between the school closures, shrinking of public gathering sizes and many of our favorite drinking establishments closing temporarily — many deciding to shutter permanently — more and more folks are choosing to hunker down at home for the near future. Whether or not your home area is heavily impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are here to help you keep on keeping on within your own four walls — the only way we know how: with cider!

We’ve compiled some of our top picks of cider cocktail recipes from the last year so gather your supply and get ready for the long haul, at least with some of your favorite sips. Also, be sure to watch your social media for cideries that are shipping (usually for free) straight to your own door.
