Recipe: Apple of the Inn Cozy Fall Drink

A Cozy Fall Drink Inspired by the Greystone Inn

There are some moments from a trip that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bags. On my recent birthday getaway to North Carolina, I found one of those moments tucked inside a warm mug at The Greystone Inn.

They call the drink Apple of the Inn — a simple, comforting apple-cider creation that tastes like fall wrapped in a blanket. We loved it so much I knew I had to try to recreate it when we got home!

The sweet team at The Greystone Inn graciously shared the recipe with me, and after making it at home, I can confidently say: You’re going to love this cozy little treat!

So if you’re hosting family, welcoming friends, or simply craving a moment of warmth this Thanksgiving season, this mug is pure deliciousness.
