Combine the rum and cider in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Close the bag carefully, and place it in a 9 x 13 dish to prevent leaks.

🔍 FAQs
What kind of apple cider is best?
If it’s cider season, grab one of the fresh gallons from the apple orchard. If you can’t find any, just the shelf-stable stuff at the grocery store is still tasty.
Plain cider will eventually freeze totally solid. If you’re willing to check on it in the freezer, you can time it just right and grab it when it’s slush.
👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Even if you love cozy spices, don’t be tempted to add ground cinnamon or cloves to the mixture. They have a gritty consistency.
- Serve with spoons and a straw so your guests can slurp or scoop.
