Combining crisp apple cider, warming spices, and your favorite amber ale, this cocktail captures the essence of the season.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup amber ale
- 1/2 cup spiced rum
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 4 cinnamon sticks
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, spiced rum, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally to blend the spices without boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large pitcher, combine the warm cider mixture with the amber ale, stirring gently to avoid excessive foam.
Fill glasses with ice (optional) and pour in the beer elixir.
Garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick and a slice of apple.
