Bourbon Apple Cider
Since fall is officially here, I know I’m not the only person craving all the fall things. Apples are on that list for sure. Whether it’s apple pie, apple crisp, caramel apples, caramel apple cheesecake, or apple cider donuts, I want it ALL. We can’t, however, leave out the apple cider from our drinks.
This Bourbon Apple Cider makes the perfect fall cocktail to give you all the fall feels. It’s fruity, but warm and cozy at the same time. I guess we can also consider this healthy since it has ginger kombucha in it? Yes. I’m going with a hard yes to that.
My husband and I first tasted a whiskey and apple cider concoction at our favorite brunch spot and immediately knew we needed to create something similar. I actually prefer this drink to the one we had at brunch. Maybe it’s because you control the amount of alcohol that goes in (heavy hand if ya know what I mean), or maybe it’s because it’s just so yummy. Whatever it is, this drink will be your new fall drink.
