CELEBRATION HOT RUM BUTTERED CIDER - CIDER HOT TODDY
This spiced and hot rum buttered cider toddy is a wonderful drink throughout the cold winter months, and is perfect during the Festive Holiday Season as well. I use Scrumpy or local French Breton cloudy cider for this, which I believe is called Hard Cider in North America. Serve the hot rum buttered cider toddy in attractive warmed glasses and float a cinnamon stick on the top for that extra touch!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. Use fresh lemon juice, good rum, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

- Garnish with a lemon twist or cinnamon stick. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to your toddy.
