My favorite way to cozy up amidst crisp, dropping temps? Sipping on a little spiced apple cider in my pajamas! But whether it’s in my pajamas, around our fire pit out back, or at the next dinner party, our Rummy Spiced Cider is a solid way to toast to sweater weather.
I squealed with delight at the new Williams-Sonoma at Ponce when I came across these cinnamon maple spoons…I mean so perfect for spiced apple cider, right? And with these stemless pumpkin glasses? Just a big ole taste of fall that I can’t get enough of.
As you may remember, we welcomed my favorite season with our friends at Pottery Barn by taking over their Instagram with a peek at how I welcome Fall. This year, we’re celebrating the season with a libation (or four) with PB and Diageo, purveyors of some of our favorite booze brands. First up: our Rummy Spiced Cider.
Imagine the vibrant citrus and warm spices all atop the sweet apple, giving the drink its subtle spice and much-needed depth. The cinnamon maple spoons not only compliment the recipe, they offer a fun and festive garnish to the cocktail. And while I prefer my cider warm, our Rummy Spiced Cider can be served hot or cold…so when you find yourself in the South during our Indian Summer, pour this libation over a little ice and enjoy! Truly, MKR
P.S. Stay tuned for more October cocktail goodness…gin punch, spiked hot chocolate and a nod to our favorite wizard with a little Boozy Butter Beer! xo

Those spoons are pretty genius. I think I might have to make an impromptu visit to my local Williams & Sonoma. And this cider. . . an adult version of a fall favorite. Time to throw on the pjs, whip up a batch, and snuggle into my faux fur blanket.
Is it only me??? I can’t find the cider in the recipe……
The pictures look delicious!! 🙂 In the recipe, what are you supposed to boil/simmer? The only liquid listed is the rum, is there apple cider too? How much?
Oh my goodness the recipe got messed up somehow, 2 quarts of apple cider not rum! Only 1 cup of rum, it’s fixed now sorry about that!
My bad, totally had a misprint in the recipe it is all good now. xo
That sounds amazing!!
This sounds SO GOOD! Might have to try it tomorrow for Football Sunday!

What about the whole cloves? The recipe says to remove the apple and orange slices, but nothing about the cloves. Do those stay?
