Got this recipe out of a magazine way back in 1979:
Barn Burner
1 1/2 oz. Southern Comfort
1 cup Hot Cider
cinnamon stick
2-inch length of lemon peel
Put cinnamon stick in an Irish Coffee glass. Add hot cider and let steep
for a few seconds. Give the lemon peel a twist to release the volatile
oils, and drop it into the cider as well. Add Southern Comfort and stir.
Very nice on a cold drizzly night -- hey, wait a minute, that's what I'm
experiencing RIGHT NOW! Unfortunately, I don't have any Southern Comfort in
the house, and it's too late to go out to buy a bottle. Guess I'll have to
make do with some kind of hot drink with rum or brandy.

Shame, sounds great! Do you mean what you call 'hard' cider, or the no
alcohol stuff?

This was the no-alcohol stuff. It's alcoholic enough with the Southern
Comfort!
