We have two great recipes today that are made with bourbon & cider, 1 hot and 1 cold, both are delicious and perfect for fall.
Warm Bourbon & Cider

Maple, Bourbon, & Cider
Ice
1 oz. Bourbon

2 teaspoons pure Maple Syrup
1 cup Apple Cider

Fill a glass and cocktail shaker with ice. Add bourbon, maple syrup, lemon juice, and apple cider to shaker; shake vigorously. Strain into glass and top with cayenne pepper, if desired.
Love your maple syrup suggestion. I love bourbon and cider, too… Well, bourbon and anything, really. It’s become my favorite liquor these days. We posted some bourbon and cider recipes with ginger as the special ingredient on Bootleg Bartender. Hope you enjoy!
