Miel Picante Punch

This warming rum and apple cider punch from bartender Jane Danger (from her time at the now-closed bar Cienfuegos) packs some added heat with a spicy jalapeño and rum honey. But chile-phobes shouldn’t fear: the heat of the spiced honey is not at all overwhelming; “in fact it’s very light and warming,” Danger notes.

Ingredients

Yield:6 servings
  • 6 oz. aged rum
  • 12 oz. apple cider
  • 2 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 oz. jalapeño-rum honey
  • Tools:barspoon, punch bowl
  • Glass:mug
  • Garnish:grated cinnamon and a lemon wedge

Preparation

On a stovetop, heat all of the ingredients together until steaming. Ladle into mugs and garnish.

Jalapeño-rum honey: Combine 1½ cups of honey with 1 sliced and smashed jalapeño (seeds intact) and 2 ounces of aged rum. Stir and let sit overnight at room temperature. Remove the jalapeño chunks before using. Store in a dark, cool place for up to 1 month.
