I’ve found that Tovolo Pancake Pen works absolutely fantastic for filling the shot cups without any mess. Just fill the pen, cap it off and squeeze gently to evenly fill each cup. It works wonders for pudding shots too!

  1. Define “hard” apple cider plz!
    Like, Angry Orchard?(alcohol, sugar, carbonation)(isn’t really hard cider no matter what the package says)
    Or, apple cider from a jug that has been sitting until the fermentation process has started again and has a bit of a tang to it?(actually made from apples)

  2. I just took these off the heat and while waiting to cool, scrolled down to read the comments. I used 1 1/2 cans of Bold Rock Hard Cider which has some carbonation to it. Hoping these still turn out ok! Where do you get hard cider that’s not bottled like Angry Orchard, Crispin or our local Bold Rock?
