Oakham Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature.

This week, Josh is bringing you an autumnal cocktail as the summer draws to a close.

The toffee apple fizz cocktail is a long drink that offers a touch of sweet but the crispness that comes with autumn, making it a great drink for this time of year.

I hope that you enjoy it!

Ingredients: 

• 50ml spiced rum
• generous teaspoon of brown sugar
• 1 lemon
• cider
• lemonade

Method:

1. muddle the sugar and lemon in the bottom of the shaker
2. add the spiced rum and ice
3. shake hard over ice
4. strain into a glass
5. top up with cider
6. add lemonade if you want your drink a little weaker

Check back next week for another Cocktail of the Week, shared each Friday to get the party started.
