Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 oz bourbon
1 1/2 oz cloudy apple cider*
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz cinnamon syrup
3 dashes angostura or Dashfire Jerry Thomas bitters
1/2 cup sugar (I used raw sugar, but white will work)
1/2 cup water
6 cinnamon sticks broken in half

Steps:

  • Cinnamon Syrup:Bring all ingredients to a low bubble, put the lid on, turn down the heat to low, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Using a fine mesh or cocktail strainer, strain it into a jar or container (to remove any small pieces of cinnamon) and refrigerate until needed. Cocktail:Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker, fill with ice, put the lid on and give it a good shake, about 5-10 seconds until very cold. Using a fine mesh or cocktail strainer, strain it into your cocktail glass. If you like, you can garnish with a slice of apple (rubbed with lemon to keep from browning) and a cinnamon stick or an apple fan (see photos).

Categories     Drinks

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1.5 oz Kentucky Straight Bourbon Good Quality (I used Four Roses Bourbon)
3/4 oz Simple syrup
2 oz Apple juice (Your Favorite Brand - I used Honeycrisp Organic Apple Juice)
1/2 tsp 100% Pure Maple Syrup
1 wedge Fresh Lemon Juice
2 slices Fresh Red Apple (thin sliced)

Steps:

  • In a rocks glass, squeeze in the juice from the lemon wedge and add simple syrup plus a dash of maple syrup. Now add ice to your glass.
  • Splash in the bourbon plus apple juice.
  • Stir with a long bar spoon until completely combined.
  • Garnish with crisp fresh apple slices or a little orange peel and serve chilled.
  • Additionally, you may top off with a little sparkling water if you like a little fizz.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and flavor when cooked.
  • Don't overcook the apples: You want the apples to be tender but still have a little bit of bite. Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon is a key ingredient in this cocktail, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a bourbon that is smooth and has a nice flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit: A sprig of mint or a slice of orange can add a nice touch of flavor and color to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Juicy Apple Bourbon Fall Cocktail is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for enjoying on a cool autumn evening. The combination of sweet apples, tart bourbon, and warm spices creates a complex and flavorful cocktail that is sure to please everyone.
