Hot Apple Cider Rum Punch
In this recipe, dark rum, exotic spices, and delicious apple cider come together to create a punch that will keep you and your guests warm all night long.
The spices in this recipe help bring out the caramel and vanilla notes in the dark rum, while the orange brightens everything up making this warm punch easy to drink.
A good white rum will work just fine, if that’s all you have in the house, but do make sure to use a good fresh pressed apple cider and that there’s no added sugar in it.
This is an easy drink to scale up or down, depending on how many people you’re serving. It’s meant to be sipped throughout the evening, which is why it isn’t overly boozy.
