There’s something timeless about a mug of hot apple cider on a cool evening - it warms your hands, lifts your mood, and fills the kitchen with the nostalgic scent of cinnamon and clove. But when you add a splash of Kōloa Spice Rum to that steamy cider? That’s when the comfort hits a whole new level.

This recipe takes a seasonal staple and gives it a smooth island upgrade. The Kōloa Spice Rum blends beautifully with the apple cider, adding gentle notes of cinnamon, caramel, vanilla, and subtle spice that complement without overpowering. It’s still familiar, still cozy, just a little more grown up.
