This is a great basic recipe. However, it only comes out to about 40 proof, or 20% alcohol. I wanted to crank up the ABV and lower the sugar, and instead used this:
32 oz apple juice
32 oz apple cider
8 cinnamon sticks
2 cups brown sugar
2 bottles (est 50 oz./ 1500ml) 190 proof grain alcohol
Result: Est 45% ABV/ 90 Proof
Boil juice, cider, cinnamon sticks for about 20 mins, stir in sugar. Let cool completely (first on counter, then covered in fridge), then add everclear.
