Apple Cider Old Fashioned
Description
This cocktail combines fresh apple cider with bourbon or whiskey, sweetened gently by maple syrup and balanced by aromatic bitters. Stirred rather than shaken, it maintains smooth texture and clarity. The apple and orange slices lend a fresh aroma and visual appeal, while an optional cinnamon stick adds a warm spiced note complementing the cider and bourbon flavors.
Serving in a lowball glass with a large ice cube allows the drink to chill and dilute slowly, preserving the intended flavor balance over time. This drink suits those looking for an autumnal twist on the classic Old Fashioned with a touch of natural sweetness from the cider and maple syrup.
