Apple Cider

For a cold version of this cocktail, pour rum over ice in a large glass and top off with apple juice or sparkling cider.

Garnish this warming drink with lemon slices and a cinnamon stick.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.

I like to mix up several kinds of apples for great-tasting applesauce. I prefer it coarse, so I cook it for a short time and then mash it only slightly.
