Our fun and festive Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail recipe is a delicious beverage that is perfect for this Fall season!
Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Sugar Rim:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- real maple syrup
Bourbon Cocktail:
- 1.5 – 3oz apple cider
- 1.5oz bourbon (or brandy)
- 1oz orange liqueur (we used Gran Marnier)
- 3 dashes of bitters
- 0.5 – 1oz real maple syrup
- garnish (optional): star anise, apple slices, cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Rim Glass: Put the cinnamon and sugar on a small plate and mix to combine. Grab a low ball cocktail glass and use your finger to spread a small amount of maple syrup around the rim. Flip the glass over and turn the rim in the cinnamon sugar mixture to create a cinnamon sugar rim around the top.
- Cocktail Shaker: Add the apple cider, bourbon, orange liqueur, bitters, and 0.5 oz of maple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid on top and give it a good shake.
- Pour + Taste: Add ice cubes to the rimmed glass and pour the cocktail over the top. Taste and adjust any flavors or sweetness as desired.
- Serve: Enjoy this cozy cocktail with any of your favorite garnish ingredients!
Notes
- Sweetness: highly recommend starting with 0.5oz of maple syrup, and then you can add more, if desired.
