Notes
So, we didn’t have a tall heatproof glass that was vintage, so we mixed ours in a larger cup and then just poured off a small amount into our vintage Pyrex cups. It worked!
“How is it? Is it weird?”
“A little. Mostly it just tastes like hard cider.”
The Verdict: Hard Cider
From The Tasting Notes –
Tasted like a bland hard cider. Not a great pairing, but it was good enough. It might be a better drink with better cider (we just had grocery store cider on hand), or if the cider was spiced. The rum flavor was very noticeable, and kind of overpowered the more delicate cider flavors. It ended up tasting almost like apple juice mixed with rum.
Well, that’s one I’ve never heard of!
The origins of this drink must go back much further!
