                            Spiced Rum Cider (June 3rd)

Rum and Apple Cider are frequently combined in hot/warm drinks during the winter holiday season.  Here is a recipe to enjoy this excellent combination of flavors during the hot summer days.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ oz. Spiced Rum
  • 3 oz. Apple Cider
  • 1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp. Maple Syrup (preferred) or Simple Syrup
  • A dash of Orange Bitters
  • Ice
  • Optional garnishes: Apple Slices, Cinnamon Sticks, Star Anise and Brown Sugar for the rim

Directions:

  1. Add all the ingredients (except the garnishes) into a  cocktail shaker, add a few ice cubes.
  2. Shake vigorously for a few seconds and pour into a glass over ice. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can mix everything in the glass. Just stir it really well and add ice. 
  3. Add the garnishes and rim the glass with sugar, if desired.  Enjoy!
