This cocktail is like Fall in a glass. Seriously the spices and the pumpkin and the spiced rum all combine for this amazing aroma. I wanted to make this drink a hot spiced cider, which you could totally do with apple cider, but I was too stupid to read the label closely enough. All I could see was pumpkin cider in this really cool bottle that I found at my favorite grocery store in all the land-Aldi. Imagine my surprise when I opened the bottle and it popped really loudly and it was all sparkly and fizzy when I poured it and I’m all like “what the what?” Oh yeah, the label says sparkling. Duh! So I just made the drink without heating it and it was still very delicious. And bubbly.
I’m not really celebrating Halloween this year so I didn’t make us any cool Halloween cocktails. Sorry. My bad. But this cocktail should make up for it because we can celebrate fall til Thanksgiving right? It’s not one of those “one night” kind of cocktails. Slutty cocktails that they are…
Rum sparkling spiced pumpkin cider cocktail
1 oz spiced rum
1 oz dark rum
sparkling pumpkin cider
Pour rum(s) in a glass and top with pumpkin cider. I rimmed the glass with caramel then cinnamon sugar. It makes the drink taste even more like all the tastes and smells of Fall.
