Crispaker

--
Stone Fence

2 oz Mt. Gay Silver Eclipse Rum
4 oz Crispin Original cider

Build over ice in a double rocks glass. Enjoy.
The Stone Fence harkens back to Colonial America, with hard cider being one of the few alcoholic drinks made in the colonies and either New England or Caribbean rum available as well. While this drinks has roots that go back to the earliest days of America, I think this drink fits perfectly with a modern outdoor barbecue. One of my favorite drinks.
