Spicy Sparkling Cider (Cocktail)

Submitted by graniteangel

"This is a great drink for the holidays. I was just in Michigan and we had some dark spiced rum and sparkling apple cider at my parents house so I threw this drink together and it's pretty darn good if I say so myself."

This was a very good simple cocktail and it was a big hit. I used Tattoo version of this and it was a very nice way to start off the new year.

Thank you! This was a big hit last Thanksgiving and is back this year by popular demand! I simplified by using just Spiced Rum.

Made this tonight using regular apple cider. Used Captain Morgan and Myers Rum. Left out the sugar due to the fact that I used regular apple cider. My wife wasn't fond of this but I enjoyed it.
