Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz spiced rum
  • 1 oz fresh apple cider

  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Ice (crushed or cubed)
  • Optional garnish: Apple slice
  • Optional garnish: Cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Fill your highball glass with iceโ€”about halfway full works well.
  2. Pour 2 oz (60 ml) of spiced rum into the glass.
  3. Add 1 oz (30 ml) of fresh apple cider for that autumn touch.
  4. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime (approximately 1 tbsp).
  5. Top off the drink with 4 oz (120 ml) of ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve the fizz.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top for extra warmth.

Notes

Chill your ingredients for a colder drink. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or honey. Pour ginger beer last to preserve fizz. Experiment with garnishes like rosemary or orange peel.
