Welcome to day two of The Twelve Boozy Days of Christmas!
Today I’m going to showcase a very classic winter drink – Mulled Cider. It’s filled with warm spices, hints of lemon and of course a little booze 🙂 Spiced rum to be exact. Nothing wrong with that in my book!
This recipe is enough to serve eight guests or to have one drunk night by yourself 🙂

oooh this looks great! I loved mulled cider and now that it’s turned cold and yucky in Ohio, this will be perfect!

This looks awesome. Cider and rum….yum!
After the horrible exam I just took…I think I’m veering towards one drunken night. This cider sounds delicious! I love the spices in it.
I don’t know why, but this makes me wonder: do you have a good spiced apple recipe?
What a great warming drink on a cold winter’s day. I love all the spices.
