Rum and cinnamon cider served in a glass

Spiced rum and cinnamon apple cider

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
When heating cider, the fruity notes become concentrated, highlighted by the caramel depth of dark rum. This drink is a lighter, fruitier alternative to mulled wine, where the spices underpin rather than overpower the apple's natural character.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Sulphites (in cider)

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the cider into a saucepan and begin heating over medium heat. Watch for steam, but do not let it boil.

Tip: Boiling would cause the alcohol and delicate aroma compounds to leave the drink (evaporation).
2 ✓

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, and cloves. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.

Tip: The molasses content of brown sugar adds a deeper colour and caramel flavour that pairs well with the baked apple notes.
3 ✓

Remove from the heat and stir in the rum.

Tip: Always add rum at the end to preserve its flavour and alcohol content.
4 ✓

Whip the cream into soft peaks. It doesn't need to be stiff; it's better if it spreads creatively.

Tip: In cold cream, fat globules form a structure around air bubbles more easily (aeration).
5 ✓

Strain the drink into heatproof glasses, crown with whipped cream, and tuck an orange slice into the foam.

Tip: The fatty cream coating on the tongue softens any sharpness from the spices, rounding out the flavours.
