Cider Rum Punch
SpiritedLA/Hannah Chamberlain
Perfect for fall gatherings, this cocktail comes from SpiritedLA of TikTok and is one of her fall favorites. With the mulling spices and cider providing those dark, rich autumn flavors and the pineapple rum and lemon juice giving a little bit of lightness and acidity, this drink exudes all the comfort of fall in a delicious, easy-to-drink punch.
This recipe, and others like it, came from the article "How to Give Your Cocktails a Fall Twist—and We’re Not Just Talking About Pumpkin."
