Ingredients

Servings
  • 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
  • orange liqueur recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau; I do not recommend triple sec; it’s just too sweet, optional, 1/2 ounce
  • cinnamon stick apple slice, spring of thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a rocks glass (or copper mug!) with ice.
  2. Pour in the bourbon, cider, lemon juice, and orange liqueur (if using). Add the ginger beer.
  3. 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.
