  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Zest/peel of 1/4 orange
  • 3/4 cup water

  • 6 oz dry or semi-sweet white wine
  • 1 cup apple cider

  2. Strain the extract and store in a bottle in the fridge if not using immediately.
  3. Heat the apple cider in a large pot, then turn off the stove and add the wine, extract, soaked raisins, and remaining rum.
