The background of National Hot Mulled Cider Day

Before the pumpkin spiced latte became popular, hot ciders and other peppery beverages were associated with autumn in the United States. It was sufficient for a single red leaf to fall for us to indulge in these warm winter delicacies.

The end of September is a signal to organize our affairs before the holiday season. Warm mulled cider is a great way to celebrate the end of Spring. Ciders and wines have been mulled by humans since the time of the Ancient Greeks. A process of heating up alcoholic beverages to utilize leftover or substandard wine quickly made a name of its own.

Americans have never concealed their affection for apples, and apple cider was received with equal enthusiasm after its introduction by Europeans. Laird’s, the first cider distillery in the United States, was founded in 1780 and is still in operation.

However, the popularity of mulled ciders today is a result of its commercialization in the Victorian era. Charles Dickens immortalized mulled alcohol by mentioning ‘Smoking Bishop’ in his 1943 novel, “A Christmas Carol.”

National Hot Mulled Cider Day is the ideal time to warm up our ciders, fill our homes with the sweetest aromas, and prepare for the impending chilly winds of October, despite the unclear origins of this particular holiday.
