Serving Size 1

Ingredients

  • ice
  • 1 ounce spiced rum
  • pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon pure maple syrup
  • cups apple cider
  • 1 slice apple
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  • Fill mug or glass (16 ounce) quarter way with ice (for cold version). Top with rum.

  • Garnish with apple slice and cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • For a hot version, heat apple cider in microwave or stovetop before adding to mug.
  • This spiked apple cider recipe makes one serving, but can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
  • Although we prefer spiced rum with our apple cider, you may also want to try whiskey, brandy or bourbon.
  • For the garnish, you could also use dried apple slices.
