Ingredients

1 cup Pumpkin Wine - or sweet white fruit wine such as such as Three Lakes pumpkin wine or Leelanau pumpkin fruit wine.
1 oz Good Quality Light Rum - such as Flor de Caña white rum, Banks Island white rum, or Brugal white rum.
2 oz Pure Apple Cider
1 packet Mulling Spices
2 whole Cinnamon Sticks
1/2 Red Apple - diced - such as gala or honeycrisp
Whipped Cream - optional - if making a non-alcoholic version
Caramel Sauce - optional - for topping if making a non-alcoholic version

Instructions

Start by heating the ingredients together in saucepan: Splash a cup of the pumpkin fruit wine into a small saucepan. To the same saucepan, add in the pure apple cider. Now toss in a packet of mulling spices along with 2 cinnamon sticks. Lastly, add in the diced red apple pieces.
Turn the heat on and the cider and pumpkin wine mixture through for 10 to 15 minutes until spices and cinnamon sticks have perfumed and flavored the apple cider. Heat while stirring occasionally to distribute the flavors. Heat on low and do not let come to a boil. Adjust heat as needed so that the wine, spices, and rum steep but do not come to bubble in the pot.
When 10 minutes cook time is up, turn heat off and cover with a lid. Allow to steep off of the heat an additional 10 minutes.
When finished steeping, serve the spiced wine and cider mixture in a festive witch’s cauldron cup and serve with a cinnamon stick to stir with! Make sure to ladle in lots of diced apple pieces from the pot. (For non-alcoholic version, see 'Notes' section below).

Notes

Leaky Cauldron Harry Potter Drink without Alcohol or For Kids:

Make this easy Halloween drink for kids, too! You can make a non-alcoholic Harry potter Leaky Cauldron drink by:

Simply leaving out the pumpkin wine and rum.
Heat just about a cup of good quality pure pressed apple cider in a saucepan with lots of fresh chopped apple, cinnamon sticks, and the packet of mulling spices.
It will basically make a nice hot cider with lots of cozy fall spice. Finish the kids non-alcohlic drink with a twirl of whipped cream on top.
Add on drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
