I've been making this same recipe (minus the whipped cream vodka) for years (well, I only use a 1 L of Everclear). Cloudy cider, apple juice, etc., is all the same. Just whipped up the first winter batch today. Damn good stuff. I usually go through about 3 batches during the winter months. Not bad pricing: $20+ for a handle of Everclear (use 2/3 of it), $3.5 for the cider, $3 for the apple juice, $4 for the cinnamon sticks - got a little over $27 tied up in 9 quarts.
