Spiced Apple Rum Cocktail. I am a wine lover. I may even go as far as to say, a wine snob. Or maybe wine-snob-in-training. A wonderful glass of red wine is my perfect Autumn drink. I’m a huge fan of Pinot Noir – perhaps because of the Pinot Noir festival I attended last summer, where I tasted about 50 (no lie) Pinot Noirs from the Okanagan region and got educated! Except toward the end, I was calling even a $50 bottle “standard delicious”… 😉
What I mean to say is that I don’t often drink cocktails in the cooler months. But I picked up a bunch of apples from the Farmer’s Market this week and had visions of a spiced apple rum cocktail drink dancing in my head…
I looked at our liquor cabinet, googled around a bit, and came up with this Spiced Apple Rum Cocktail. It’s apple pie in a glass. Literally, and it will probably save you a few calories too 😉
