Appletons Spiced Ice Tea

The Appletons Spiced Ice Tea is a refreshing and aromatic cocktail that combines the robust flavors of Jamaican rum with the cooling sensation of iced tea. It features 2 ounces of Jamaican rum, which is known for its rich, full-bodied taste, perfect for pairing with the subtle sweetness and crispness of a can of iced tea. The drink is elevated by a hint of spice, with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, adding warmth and complexity to the blend. Served over four ice cubes, this cocktail is ideal for those looking to enjoy a spiced, yet refreshing beverage.

This cocktail takes the essence of Jamaican rum and marries it with the widely enjoyed iced tea, creating a drink that is both familiar and exotic. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg nods to the island's rich spice heritage, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.
