What rum is best for autumn rum cocktails?

This Autumn Spiced Rum Cider cocktail recipe needs a delicious dark rum to deliver seriously rich caramel notes. We’re fans of the golden Maison La Mauny VSOP; it’s been aged for over four years in the tropical Martinique warmth in American and French barrels for a smooth honeyed sip. Another fave of ours is the award-winning Jamaican Appleton Estate Signature Rum, offering peachy molasses flavours that complement the spices in this recipe perfectly.

Our Autumn Spiced Rum Cider cocktail is a gorgeous way to welcome dinner guests on a chilly autumnal evening as this light drink won’t spoil anyone’s appetite for dinner. Pair this cocktail with buttery shortbread desserts for a heavenly match, or small puff pastry bites with cheese or salmon. To double up on the seasonal flavours, pour an Autumn Spiced Rum Cider cocktail when you’re serving apple pie or cinnamon donuts. Alternatively, if you’re curled up on the sofa with a bowl of creamy pasta and your besties, an Autumn Spiced Rum Cider cocktail would be absolutely divine!
