240 ml	Prune juice
90 ml	Spiced rum
1	Medium orange for juice and garnish
1	Cinnamon stick
	For garnish:
2	Prunes
2	Cinnamon sticks
3 tbsp	Sugar
1 tbsp	Orange juice (remaining)

Step 1
Using a vegetable peeler or a small, sharp knife, carefully cut 4 strips of zest (remove any white pith) from the orange, then juice the orange (yielding about 120 ml) , reserving 1 TBSP).
Step 2
Pour the prune juice, spiced rum and fresh orange juice into a small saucepan, and then add the cinnamon stick and two strips of the orange zest.
Step 3
Warm over medium-low heat (slight simmer) for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the cocktails are warming, prepare the sugar plums by rolling two prunes in the remaining 1 TBSP orange juice (or water will work) and set on a plate, sprinkle with sugar to coat, and allow to dry for 30 seconds, then sprinkle with sugar again.
Step 5
Divide the cocktail between two mugs. Garnish each mug with a piece of orange zest and a sugar plum on a cocktail pick, and a cinnamon stick.
