Cider Heaven (Cider and Rum over Ice)

"I had some cider left from a recipe (FTs 18th century drunken chicken) and a small amount of dark rum. I tried a homemade pina colada with the rum, didn't work--then I poured myself a glass of the hard cider, added rum and fell in love."

  1. I used a low carb cider and think it would have been better with a sweeter cider. I added a drop of vanilla and a bit of cinnamon and it did the job! Thank you! ??
     
  2. Yum! As a alternative from dark rum's molasses-leaning flavor (think Gosling's Black Seal, or Cruzan's Black Strap), sometime try a lighter - but still spiced- rum like Sailor Jerry. There are notes of vanilla in Sailor Jerry's that heighten the appleness (?) of the hard cider. I order a pint of cider & a shot of Sailor Jerry, sip down the cider an inch, and pour the shot into the cider. No ice. I call it a "Jerry Bomb", although actually dropping the shot glass into the pint isn't necessary. LOL
     
  3. I added less rum because the first time it was too strong. Very simple and a nice drink in the winter. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. This was very good, but strong :) We enjoyed this during our New Year's Day feast! Made for Comfort Cafe, January 2010!
     
  5. The rum was to strong for me in this drink. Loved the hard cider. But I doctored it and was able to drink it. Made for *1-2-3 Hit Wonders* game 2007

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
