Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ gallon apple cider
- 2 cups spiced rum
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour ½ gallon of apple cider and 2 cups of spiced rum into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Seal the bag carefully to avoid any spills. Place the sealed bag inside a 13 x 9 baking dish to catch any potential leaks during freezing.
- Freeze: Place the dish with the bag in the freezer. Freeze for at least 5 hours or until the mixture reaches a slushy texture. Check after 5 hours to ensure proper consistency.
- Serve: Remove the bag from the freezer and pour the slushy mixture into cups. If the mixture is too solid, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute spiced rum with cinnamon whiskey, bourbon, or apple brandy for different flavor variations.
- Reducing the alcohol content will cause the slush to freeze more solidly and may require thawing on the counter before serving.
- Use a freezer bag that seals tightly to prevent leaks in the baking dish during freezing.
- For a garnish, consider adding apple slices or cinnamon sticks when serving.
