Fall is upon us, which means it’s apple picking time and it’s also National Bourbon Heritage Month! So, grab some apple cider and your favorite bourbon, and make this Bourbon Apple Cider Cocktail. It’s the perfect drink for fall!
Here in Kentucky, the weather is starting to mellow out a little bit and the leaves will be turning soon. At the first signs of fall, I start craving all things apple, cinnamon, pumpkin and of course…bourbon! September is also National Bourbon Heritage Month, which basically means that we should celebrate bourbon in every way possible, right? It seems fitting that bourbon and apples would go together well, and this bourbon apple cider drink is absolute perfection. It’s got the perfect blend of bourbon, apple cider and a little hint of cinnamon and ginger too. Matt and I will be enjoying this lovely concoction this weekend while we sit around our fire pit!
