This pumpkin rum punch is infused with the sweet, spicy flavors of pumpkin butter, aromatic bitters and balanced by crisp apple cider to create an easy fall cocktail. Served over ice and garnished with fresh nutmeg, it's a simple way to embrace the cozy flavors of autumn.

Shake your cocktail. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the rum, pumpkin butter, apple cider, lemon juice and bitters. Cover and shake until nice and cold.
