Notes

🍂 Why It Works

Campfire Cider is the quintessential fall comfort drink. The kind that makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and watch the leaves fall. The dark rum brings a toasty depth, while the lemon keeps it bright, and the maple syrup ties it all together with cozy sweetness. It’s as if autumn itself was distilled into a single mug.
