Tips:

  • Choose the right bourbon: A good bourbon for this recipe will have a smooth, mellow flavor. Avoid bourbons that are too smoky or spicy.
  • Use fresh apple cider: Fresh apple cider will give your cocktail a bright, crisp flavor. If you can't find fresh apple cider, you can use store-bought apple cider, but make sure it's unsweetened.
  • Don't over-shake the cocktail: Over-shaking the cocktail will dilute it and make it watery. Shake the cocktail just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish with apple slices or a cinnamon stick: This will add a festive touch to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Bourbon Cider Sour is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that's perfect for fall. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their bourbon preference. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Bourbon Cider Sour a try. You won't be disappointed.
