Equipment

cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

Crushed ice
4 .Oz dark rum (I used aged rum)
8 .Oz apple cider
4 dashes orange bitters
2 .Oz triple sec simple syrup
ginger beer to top (I strongly advice using Fever-Tree brand. The ginger is intense)
Apple slices to garnish (from 1 apple)

Instructions

Combine the rum, apple cider, orange bitters, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake vigorously until frosted.
Fill the serving glasses with crushed ice (you can equally enjoy it without ice).
Strain the rum cider cocktail into the glasses halfway up (about 7.oz). Top with ginger beer. Garnish with apple slices or cinnamon sticks. Sip immediately.
Please drink responsibly!

Notes

If you'd like to make the cinnamon-sugar rim, use the recipe below:

For the rim

¼ cups granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a wide plate/bowl. Dip the rim of two serving glasses in water, then over the cinnamon sugar. Tap the bottom to release any excess sugar.

Next, follow the recipe on the recipe card.
