Easy Bourbon Apple Cider

October 5, 2015 By Susannah Leave a Comment

Bourbon Apple Cider | Feast + West for My Cooking Spot

This is Susannah from Feast + West, here with a favorite fall beverage!

I know it’s autumn when I have my first sip of apple cider. Sweet, fruity and spicy; it’s a guilty pleasure I cherish throughout the season.


But who has time to sit around and mull their own? Sometimes, I’d rather cheat and buy a gallon of fresh cider from a local orchard or at the farmers market. One of my favorite things to do is mix it into cocktails. Bourbon is probably my favorite spirit of all, and it pairs so well with apple cider.

To make this Easy Bourbon Apple Cider, I warm the apple cider — either my own or market-fresh — on the stove with a few cinnamon sticks and cloves. When it reaches a comfortable drinking temperature, I ladle it into a mug and add a shot of bourbon. (New to bourbon? I have a guide for you.) And garnish it with a cinnamon stick, of course!

I like to enjoy spiked cider on brisk evenings at home alone, but sometimes I’ll make a big batch when I have friends over. It always makes my place smell incredible! Just like autumn.
