INGREDIENTS
Serves 1
—

• 2 ounces of premium Bourbon

• 1 ounce of apple cider

• ½ ounce of maple syrup (optional)

• A pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon

• Ice cubes

• Cinnamon stick

• Brown sugar

• Orange slices

• Apple slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish

  INSTRUCTIONS
  1. To infuse a cinnamon flavor, sear a cinnamon stick until the flame simmers out and place it on a non-flammable surface.

  2. Cover the cinnamon stick with a rocks glass. You can control the amount of smokiness you would like in your drink. Approximately 15-30 seconds and let the magic happen.

  3. Rim your glass with a wedge of citrus. Dip the rim of the glass in the sugar.

  4. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, combine the Bourbon, apple cider, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg, and shake until it's chilled and well combined.

  5. Add an ice cube to the rocks glass. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.
  6. To enhance the visual appeal, place a thinly sliced apple along the inner side of the glass. Add a cinnamon stick as a garnish for that extra touch of autumnal splendor.

  Sip and savor the delightful flavors of this Autumn Bourbon cocktail as you welcome your guests with warmth and hospitality.

Note: Remember to drink responsibly and provide non-alcoholic alternatives for those who prefer them.
