  • Oh forgot to say that you don't need to do anything but put the apple juce, along with a touch of spices in each mug and mic the juice to heat, not boil. Then add the rum and place a very scant pat of real, unsalted butter in each mug along with a cinnamon stick (more for show if you have added ground cinnamon already.

  • Oh my gosh, this is so much better if you leave the sugar and honey out and instead of water, use the cheapest, or store brand apple juice and just dark rum (again cheaper) and LESS spices.

    Mine is so much easier, quicker and better. Try it, you will like it.

    Ex bartender of many years saying this.
