Combine all ingredients (except the alcohol) in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer and allow to simmer covered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks.
Transfer to a slow cooker to keep this warm for a party, or serve directly from the stovetop. Stir in Everclear (I stir in one cup, taste, and add more if desired!)
Garnish with an orange slice and cinnamon stick to serve. Enjoy!
