This spiced rum cider is autumn in a glass: crisp apple and zesty orange slices mingle with the deep warmth of brown sugar, cloves, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Simmering it not only brings out its flavors but fills your home with an irresistible aroma.

Even with a little extra sweetness, it hits all the right cozy notes and doubles as delightful home fragrance.
