Why bourbon or rum with apple cider?

Both spirits have their unique qualities; bourbon brings in caramel and oak notes while rum introduces a sugary sweetness - both complementing the apple cider perfectly.

Can I heat the apple cider for a warm cocktail?

Absolutely! Warm the apple cider on the stove or in the microwave before adding it to the mix. Just be cautious with the Elixir Mixer when dealing with very hot liquids.
