Apple Cider Old Fashioned Cocktail

Servings: 1 drink
Prep Time: 5 minutes
A classic whiskey cocktail with a fall apple twist!

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ounces quality apple cider or juice
  • Dash of angostura bitters
  • 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 juice, bitters, and sugar. Swirl glass around until mixture is combined and sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the ice and whiskey and give it a quick stir.
  • Top with garnishes as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Some readers have commented that extra sugar isn't needed. If you have a really nice flavorful apple cider, that may be plenty sweet enough and you can omit the brown sugar.
  • This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. as needed. You can even prepare bulk drinks in a small pitcher and then pour over ice into individual glasses.
