Wondeful recipe. We made two batches. The first I used the regular light rum and it was good. The second batch we used spiced rum and it was GREAT! Thanks!

What a great way to "warm up" after being out in the cold. The flavors blend well together with just enough kick from the rum. Definitely a keeper.

This is a great recipe for cider -- vary the amount of rum depending on personal preference and the butter garnish can be omitted. I make this quite often during the holiday season.

This is by far the best spiked cider that I have ever tried. It was easy to make and so delicious. I cut back on the rum to 1 cup as many suggested. I used Captain Morgan spiced rum and that added to the flavor. I used less butter as well. The result was divine! Perfect for fall entertaining!

I'm not a big fan of apple cider but I love this recipe. Great combination of flavors & a nice warm drink for sitting outside by a fire. I have doubled the recipe for parties or to take to outdoor events to share. Everyone loved it.

Yum! Since I don't like eggnog, this is now my official Christmas beverage. The only change I made was skipping the butter. I was surprised to find that I enjoyed the flavor much more without the butter. A few less calories at Christmas is always a good thing.

Used this for a bakery staff get together and it was the hit of the party. I doubled it and add just 1 Tbsp. butter to the pot. I also used Captain Morgan Rum. I will definitely use it again and again.

This was good, but I thought it was absolutely too sweet...maybe it's just a matter of taste...but woo, I couldn't drink a whole cup! It was just too much!

I made this for my family on Thanksgiving and MMMMM was it delicious! I doubled the recipe, cut back on the rum a little and added some more cider as others had suggested - it turned out perfect! I think this drink will become a new Thanksgiving tradition in our family (along with some football games and hayrides, etc.).

**Update** I make this as a base and add the rum later. Follow the recipe, but only add one cinnamon stick and no rum or butter. Stick it in the fridge and fish the cinnamon stick out after an hour or so. I microwave a mug of cider mix and add the rum at a ratio of 6:1. *** Delicious! Was a great hit at my house for Christmas Eve. I should have listened to the other reviews that cut the amt. of alcohol, though. I disregarded because all people in attendance at my party enjoy their liquor. However, this was a little potent. I ended up adding more cider to dilute the rum.

Yummy! First made this before for a football tailgateing party. Made it again this year, and can't wait to make again. I also used Captain Morgan's. Definately takes the cold bite out of a chilly day.

I really liked this recipe and so did my party guests. Most of them wrote down the recipe before they left. I used Capt. Morgan's rum too.

Served this Christmas Eve and it was a BIG hit! Will serve again! I kept in a crock pot hoping it would make the house smell like hot apple cider (it didn't)and per other's notations used only 2/3 of the amount of rum called for. Very yummy!

Served this at our annual holiday party and once people had a sip, they just kept sipping. Only made one batch and it was gone! Used Capt. Morgan instead of regular rum and used cinnamon tea instead of orange. Turned out great and will make again during winter sporting events! hiccup...

This stuff is POTENT! I used Capt. Morgan's rum and mixed everything in a crock pot. I didn't bother to double the recipe because I was serving other beverages at my party, but the long faces I saw when it was announced there was no more of "that CIDER" told me I'll be doubling, nay tripling next time!

Tasted good, but I thought it was missing something - can't quite put my finger on it though. It did get better after sitting a while. I would probably make this again.
