Featured Cocktail: 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:
- Add all the ingredients (except the garnishes) into a cocktail shaker, add a few ice cubes.
- 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.
- Add the garnishes and rim the glass with sugar, if desired.
Enjoy!
