Spiced Rum Harvest Cocktail
This cocktail is cozy and full of flavor without feeling heavy. Warm spices from my Apple Cinnamon Simple Syrup blend beautifully with smooth rum and a squeeze of fresh lime, creating a balanced, refined sip. A light dusting of grated nutmeg adds the perfect finishing touch.
