For the adults at your soirée, you can spike this apple cider with Don Q rum, an aged, craft Puerto Rican rum that runs an environmentally responsible distillery, to boot! I chose their premium spiced Don Q rum to glug into each cup of cider.

    Yummy! For a quick/easy version, just add some spiced rum and cinnamon schnapps to apple cider – it goes down pretty easy!
