Stone Fence

This is a delicious cocktail I found in a discarded magazine.  It's wonderfully festive for Christmastime or winter time in general.

For this recipe you will need:

• 3 cups apple cider (you can mull your own, or buy store-bought that has already been mulled/seasoned)
• 3/4 cup Apple Jack
• 1/8 tsp dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 bottle Martinelli's sparkling cider

Combine first 4 ingredients in a pitcher.  Serve over ice.  Yield: about 8 servings.  You can also make these cocktails individually (I do - it's more convenient and it keeps everything nice and carbonated.)  When making individually pour in the apple brandy first - as strong as you like (usually 1-2 shots).  Then add bitters, followed by apple cider then topped with a dash of Martinelli's.
