Apple cider

For a Thanksgiving Eve I am preparing a little gathering. I thought of doing hot mulled cider and would like to add a little "something" to it for the grown ups. Any suggestions?

A little rum might be nice.

My MIL adds a little cinnamon schnapps.

For grown ups do not add anything that is "a little" add a lot. I also think rum will be nice.

Good thinkin Charlie!!

Keeping with the apple nature of the drink, might include an apple brandy.

Just a thought.

Rum was my first thought as well, but apple brandy is a great suggestion.

I might even do a spiced rum.

Hi. I like to put a bottle each of cinnamon schnapps and applejack brandy next to the crockpot with the cider, so people can add either, both, or neither as they like.

Actually I do not drink, or rather I do not like drinking.

Almost stuck me foot in me mouth Charlie..... was gonna ask when your cider version would be ready!!!

Why add anything? Buy two ciders. One hard, one soft.

If you're coming I will make it and partake of it too. The fact that I do not like to drink doesn't really mean that I would forgo good company.

the classic, aka a "broken leg" on the ski slopes, is spiced rum and warmed apple cider. i've seen fauncier versions that add a cinnamon stick, a slice or rind of lemon, and a few raisins.

Apple brandy is traditional where I live, but rum sounds nicer!

Another suggestion is an Italian liquor called Tuaca, which has a citrus & vanilla flavor. When added to cider and topped with a squirt of whipped cream it almost tastes like an apple pie. Good stuff!

Tuaca is also great chilled or on the rocks or in coffee.

So my cider is ready and decided on the spiced rum on the side. Thanks for all the suggestions.
