- ½ teaspoon brown sugar (see Notes)
- 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
- Ice , for serving
Optional garnishes
- Orange slice or twist
- Apple slices
- Luxardo maraschino cherries
- Cinnamon stick
Instructions
- In a lowball glass, combine the apple cider or juice, bitters, and sugar. Swirl glass around or stir until mixture is combined and sugar is dissolved. 2 ounces quality apple cider or juice, 1 dash Angostura bitters, ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- Add the ice and whiskey and give it a quick stir.2 ounces bourbon whiskey
- Top with garnishes like apple slices, orange slices, cinnamon stick or cherries. Use some or all! Serve immediately.
Notes
- Brown sugar: Some readers have commented that extra sugar isn't needed. If you have a really nice flavorful apple cider, that may be sweet enough and you can omit the brown sugar.
- Make it a mocktail: Omit whiskey and bitters, and increase apple cider to 3oz and add 1oz of club soda or ginger ale. Don't skip the garnishes.
- Make a batch for a party: This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. as needed. To prepare bulk drinks in advance, mix everything but ice in a small pitcher and keep chilled in the fridge. Pour over ice into individual glasses when ready to serve.
