Today I have a couple yummy fall cocktail recipes that would work great as a little something for your Thanksgiving gathering, or for a delicious treat for the adults after trick or treat.
The spiced apple cider features some delicious fall flavors with hot apple cider, real cinnamon sticks, and a little splash of Zaya Rum. Both drinks will warm you up on a cold fall evening.
These cocktails would be perfect for a fall bonfire, or a tailgate party. Just heat up the drinks and fill up a thermos with the warm cocktails. Bring along mugs for your guests, and you can warm your hands and your insides around the fire.

Stud the apple with the cloves. In a medium pot, combine the studded apple and remaining ingredients except the rum. Slowly bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the Zaya rum. Discard the apple. Ladle into mugs and garnish each with a cinnamon stick and apple slice. Serve immediately.
