Hey dudes! Are you excited to see cocktails back to the blog?? This is my first alcoholic post since I got preggers with little Rhubarbaby. So about a year at this point. Um..... let's just say.... I'm ready. Ready for all this boozy goodness.
In true Rhubarbarians fashion, I just COULDN'T keep it simple. I just HAD to get all cray and make some fancy (but super simple) mulled juice to mix with this boozy goodness. And of course, it couldn't be your run of the mill apple cider. Nope. Nope.
This cocktail is made with MULLED PINEAPPLE CIDER! I ended up cooling the cider before mixing with rum, but this would be soooo delicious as a cozy, warm, slightly tropical-esque rum cocktail. Oh yes.
I'm not much of a rum drinker, but something about Caribbean inspired cocktails just NEEDS rum. Know what I mean? This cold weather cocktail though.... it's kind of like something you'd want to drink in Hawaii... with red and orange leaves falling around you. Does that make sense? Hmm.... probably not. But you get the idea I bet. Fall/Winter cocktail meets tropical. Mmmmm.....
Want to make this cocktail like RIGHT NOW? (hint: you do)

An hour, you guys. An hour.
I ended up finding some Bulleit Bourbon 10 year reserve that I just HAD to try. And it is goooood. A little water is all that stuff needs! Or, get fancy and make yourself a blackberry old fashioned.
