Ingredients

• 2 oz dark rum
• 1 oz blackberry liqueur
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• Ice
• Blackberries (for garnish)
• 1 cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Shake it up
   In a cocktail shaker, pour in the apple cider, dark rum, blackberry liqueur, and lemon juice. Add a generous scoop of ice.
2. Mix the magic
   Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled. This blends the bold, fruity, and spiced flavors beautifully.
3. Serve in style
   Strain the mix into a glass filled with fresh ice. Choose a crystal or cut-glass tumbler for a dramatic, elegant look.
4. Garnish and enjoy
   Drop in a few fresh blackberries and swirl in a cinnamon stick for that spooky, harvest-season flair.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh apple cider for the richest flavor — the kind you’d find at a farmers market.
• Don’t skip the lemon juice — it balances the sweetness and brings brightness.
• Pre-chill your glass in the freezer to keep the drink colder longer without dilution.
