What rum is best for fall rum cocktails?
This Autumn Spiced Rum Cider cocktail recipe needs a delicious dark rum to deliver seriously rich caramel notes. We’re fans of the golden Maison La Mauny VSOP; it’s been aged for over four years in the tropical Martinique warmth in American and French barrels for a smooth honeyed sip. Another fave of ours is the award-winning Jamaican Appleton Estate Signature Rum, offering peachy molasses flavors that complement the spices in this recipe perfectly.
