    Substitute

    Sometimes we don’t have all the ingredients on hand, so let’s talk substitutes! 🎉 If you’re out of bourbon, you can try rye whiskey for a slightly different flavor.

    For a non-alcoholic version, swap the bourbon with some spiced apple cider. 🍏 It brings a cozy warmth to your drink.

    Honey can be a great substitute for sugar. It adds a touch of sweetness and mixes well with cinnamon.

    Out of bitters? Use orange or lemon zest to give your drink a fresh twist. 🍋
