Serves 1

Ingredients

Whiskey
2 ounces
Apple cider
2 ounces, preferably fresh-pressed
Fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce
Simple syrup
1/2 ounce
Ice
as needed
Apple slices
for garnish
Cinnamon stick
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your simple syrup: in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool before using.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, apple cider, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a generous amount of ice.
  3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients.
  4. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  5. Garnish with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick for that added touch of autumnal flair.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing yet warming flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of Angostura bitters to the shaker before mixing.
  • 💡 If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of simple syrup to taste.
  • 💡 Experiment with different types of whiskey—bourbon adds a rich sweetness, while rye offers a spicier profile.
