Recipe View
Garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick "swizzle" for an aromatic and visually appealing finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth.
For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a splash of apple juice or sparkling cider to maintain the liquid volume.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Taste and add more if you desire a sweeter cider.
Feel free to experiment with other spices like cloves, nutmeg, or star anise to customize the flavor profile.
If making ahead, prepare the cider base and keep it warm in a slow cooker or electric coffee server. Add the rum just before serving to preserve its potency.
