Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 oz apple cider
  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 1 oz blackberry liqueur
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • Ice (as needed)
  • Blackberries (for garnish)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour 4 ounces of apple cider, 2 ounces of dark rum, 1 ounce of blackberry liqueur, and half an ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add a good amount of ice to chill the mixture effectively.
  2. Shake Well: Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This chills the drink while mixing the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Strain into Glass: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes and strain the shaken mixture into the glass to keep the cocktail cold and crisp without the dilution of the shaker ice.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Add fresh blackberries and a cinnamon stick to the glass as garnish for aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy it at its freshest and most flavorful.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor balance.
  • Choose a good quality dark rum to enhance the depth of the cocktail.
  • Adjust the blackberry liqueur quantity for more or less sweetness according to taste.
  • This cocktail is best served immediately to retain freshness and chill.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute dark rum and blackberry liqueur with blackberry syrup and apple juice.
