Nothing says Fall like a cozy bourbon cocktail with apple cider and spices! It didn’t feel like Fall until the end of October, so I wasn’t quite ready for a warm drink, but spices still give you all the cozy fall vibes without the warmth. Well, if you drink enough, you may get the warmth and vibes with this one. lol
Pretty cocktails that mask the taste of the liquor are my jam! This fits the bill on both accounts!
Ingredients:
- Cinnamon/Sugar for rim
- 1.5 oz Bourbon
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 C apple cider or Honeycrisp apple juice
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 dash of ground cinnamon
- 5oz sparkling hard cider (I used Strongbow because it’s not super sweet)
- Cinnamon sticks and apples for garnish
Directions:
- Rim glass with Cinnamon/Sugar mixture
- Add Bourbon, lemon juice, apple juice, maple syrup, ginger, and cinnamon to a shaker with ice
- Pour in glass and top with hard cider
- Garnish with cinnamon stick and apples
Prepare a few the next time you are in the mood for something new, and let me know how you like it.
XOXO, Laya
