Made it for a Halloween Party last night and it was delicious! Doubling the recipe filled up my large crockpot which I kept on Low for the night. I reduced the Captain Morgans Rum by 1/3, omitted the butter and it was awesome! This would be perfect for a cold Autumn outdoor event like a bonfire or tailgating. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Enjoy!

Great recipe. Didn't have orange tea so cut up a fresh orange and squeezed in the juice. Turned out great. Now a Thanksgiving tradition.

Made this cider for a party last fall. I personally loved as did most others...the only thing is the rum was a bit to much for a few. Maybe next time I will make two batches. One spiked and one not.

This was delish! Very potent, very warming. Great for sipping on a cold night. I loved the flavor the butter added - don't skip it.

Absolutely amazing! I prepared for a holiday gathering my finace and I were hosting, and more than once, after the first batch was gone, I heard "That hot cider tasted really good! Is there any more left?" (naturally, I made another batch). I used only 1 cup of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and it turns out perfectly, even for those not used to alcoholic beverages, but enough so that you can tell there's rum in it. Some people don't like the addition of the butter pat at the end, but I feel it truly completes this beverage. I'll be making this all winter long, now - thanks!

I made this for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve...it was a huge hit at all three and disappeared quickly. At the New Year's party, someone whose aunt owned an apple orchard said it was as good as any cider he'd had from there! To avoid being put on my lips after one cup, I about halved the rum.

Ooooh, this was YUMMY! Exactly the flavor I was looking for in a spiked cider. I didn't change a single thing, except that I accidentally forgot the butter at the end, and then decided it was delicious enough without! This is wicked-easy for how good it is, and works great either in on the stovetop or in a slow-cooker. I will be making it for parties for YEARS to come!

I used spiced rum rather than clear. It was wonder, I received so many compliments at my holiday party. It really helps if you use local homemade apple cider.

This was ok. Too much alcohol though. It over powered the rest of the drink. I may try again with some tweaks but as is I'd give this recipe 3 stars.

This was great - I quadrupled the recipe and kept warm in a crockpot, had styrofoam cups and the cider in a caraffe (loved that suggestion!) at the end of our neighbor's driveway to hand out to the parents who accompanied their kids trick-or-treating last night - called it "Witches Brew" and several folks came back around for more : ) I used mostly white rum w/a touch of spiced rum - omitted butter, as I wasn't sure how to swing that, doling it out to so many folks. Certainly warmed us up from the inside out!

I made this for my daughter's first birthday as a treat for the adults during the chilly month of October. Everyone loved it! I made the recipe for about 24 and it was gone within an hour between about fifteen adults. I made little recipe cards assuming someone might want it, and i didn't have eneough to pass out!! Definitely making this again.

This was quite good! We made it in the crock pot so the flavors could mingle. Then whoever wanted rum added it to their cup when served. That way they could put in as little - or as much! - as they wanted and the kids could still drink it too.

Very good. We doubled the batch because we had several people drinking out of it. We then seperated it into two - one without rum and one with. It was tasty with alchol and without. Nice warm drink for a cold winter day!
