Just in time for T-Day! I perfected this over the last week. Let me know what you think.

THE BEULAH 

1 1/2 oz. dark rum
1 oz. apple cider
3/4 oz. falernum 
1/2 oz. cranberry juice

Stir with ice until very cold, strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a Granny Smith apple slice perched on the rim of the glass. 

Falernum is a sugar cane-based liqueur with accents of clove, almond and ginger.

The Beulah is named in honor of Beulah Bondi, who played Jimmy Stewart’s mom in It’s A Wonderful Life.
