Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon* recommended: Bulleit, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace, or Four Roses — this cocktail is also delicious with vodka or rum
- 2 ounces apple cider I prefer unfiltered
- ½ ounce lemon juice
- 3 ounces ginger beer recommended: Fever Tree
- OPTIONAL: 1/2 ounce orange liqueur recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau; I do not recommend triple sec; it’s just too sweet
- Garnish: Cinnamon stick apple slice, spring of thyme
Instructions
- Fill a rocks glass (or copper mug!) with ice.
- Pour in the bourbon, cider, lemon juice, and orange liqueur (if using). Add the ginger beer.
- Gently swirl the drink with a spoon one time to mix. Garnish with an apple slice, cinnamon stick, and spring of thyme. Enjoy!
Notes
- This drink is best the day it is made; if you anticipate extra, add the ginger beer to the individual servings only, then refrigerate the bourbon/cider/orange liqueur base in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Top with fresh ginger beer just before serving.
- TO MAKE A PITCHER (5 DRINKS): Stir together 10 ounces bourbon, 10 ounces apple cider, 2 1/2 ounces lemon juice, and 2 1/2 ounces orange liqueur (if using). Cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours or until ready to serve. To make the drinks, fill glasses with ice. Divide the mixture from the pitcher between them. Top with ginger beer and garnish as desired.
- TO STORE: This drink is best the day it is made; if you anticipate extra, add the ginger beer to the individual servings only, then refrigerate the bourbon/cider/orange liqueur base in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Top with fresh ginger beer just before serving.
