If youve ever wondered what fall would taste like in a glass, then heres your answer. Molasses adds dark-sweet undertones to apple cider, and fresh ginger adds a spicy heat. You might see molasses labeled unsulphured or blackstrap at the grocery store. Either will work well here, but blackstrap tends to be more bitter. Rum is a perfect pairing since its made from sugarcanejust like molasses. Adding the rum at the end ensures the alcohol doesnt burn off during cooking.
