Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add the chilled apple cider, bourbon, and maple syrup (if using) to the shaker.
  • Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top the cocktail with chilled ginger beer and stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish with a fresh apple wedge for a touch of seasonal flair.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, spiced flavors of this autumn-inspired cocktail.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For extra depth, use barrel-aged maple syrup to complement the bourbon.
  • A cinnamon stick makes a great additional garnish and enhances the aroma.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, or omit it entirely for a drier cocktail.
