Cold Apple Cider with Caramel Infused Rum #appleweek

This post is sponsored in conjunction with AppleWeek . I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the AppleWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Ready for more apple goodness?

For today’s recipe, those gorgeous apples were used as a garnish in a spiked apple cider!  Note that you can totally make these without the rum, as well!  When spud saw my pretty drink, he asked for some as well, so I whisked the caramel sauce directly into the cider and garnished just like the adult beverage!

If you prefer your cider warm, give these ingredients a try warmed up as well!

Cold Apple Cider with Caramel Infused Rum

Ice

1 ounce salted caramel infused rum (recipe below)

4 ounces apple cider

Cinnamon

Fill a cup with ice.  Add rum and apple cider.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Stir and garish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks.

Salted Caramel Infused Rum

Inspired by The Speckled Palate

½ cup spiced rum

1 tablespoon salted caramel sauce

Whisk together.  Use immediately or (preferably) set aside for an hour or two to let the caramel fully dissolve and meld with the rum.
