Ingredients

  • 3 ounces apple cider
  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces ginger ale
  • 1 slice apple garnish
  • 1 stick Cinnamon garnish

Instructions

  • Add ice to your glass.
  • Pour in apple cider and bourbon.
  • Top with ginger ale, stirring lightly until combined.
  • Garnish with a fresh apple slice and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Make sure the liquid ingredients are ice cold before making the cocktail so it doesn't get watered down.
Don't make the drink until you are ready to serve. If you're making a batch, leave out the ice and pour each cocktail over the ice when serving.
Adjust the balance to fit your preference. Less bourbon will make it a little less boozy and a bit sweeter. More bourbon gives it a stronger flavor.
Any bourbon works, though the quality of the bourbon will affect the flavor. Make sure to use a bourbon you enjoy.
