Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 5 minutes minutes

Serving Size 1

Equipment

• A shaker is at the top of my list. It’s great for mixing everything evenly.
• I also need a jigger to measure ingredients precisely.
• I use a strainer to pour the drink smoothly, and a bar spoon to stir garnishes just right.
• Finally, my favorite glass makes the presentation perfect. My choice? A classic old-fashioned glass.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use to create this delightful cocktail.

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1 oz apple cider
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Ice cubes
• Apple slice for garnish

These flavors blend perfectly to give the cocktail its warm, spicy character. The apple slice garnishes add a fresh, crisp feel.

Instructions

Crafting this drink is simple and fun, and it only takes a few steps.

• First, I fill my shaker with ice. Then, I pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, apple cider, and simple syrup.
• Next, I add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm twist. Shaking it well ensures everything mixes perfectly.
• After shaking, I strain the cocktail into my glass filled with fresh ice.
• For a finishing touch, I garnish with a crisp apple slice.

Enjoy, and feel free to tweak the recipe to fit your taste!

Notes

I find that fresh lemon juice makes a big difference in the taste. Bottled juice can work, but fresh is best. When choosing bourbon, I go with a smooth, high-quality spirit. It really enhances the cocktail’s flavor.

Feel free to experiment with different spices. A dash of nutmeg or cloves can add a nice twist. 😊 If I want a sweeter drink, I adjust the simple syrup to taste. Sharing this recipe with friends is always fun, and I love hearing their feedback. Let me know what you think in the comments! 🍹
