I’m getting a little behind on the times here.

I have a cocktail recipe that I have wanted to share all
fall long, and now I’m running out of time. I came up with it in college after
an apple picking trip with my roommates. It was frigid and we wanted a warm  cocktail to help us get into the baking mood.

Sigh, I miss those days and those girls. I don’t ever get to
see them enough. We had so much fun living together. The nights that we stayed
in and ate cheese, fruit and full boxes of wine for dinner were easily some of
my best memories.

Spiked Warm Mulled Cider

In a large sauce pan add the cider and spices bring to a
simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the rum. Serve warm with apple slice garnish. If
you are bringing it to a large party you may want to strain it first for ease
of serving.
