Maple Bourbon Cider Cocktail

The trees have confirmed fall has arrived. While the change in season calls for a wardrobe update (hello knit sweaters!) it also signals a change in signature cocktails. Say farewell to the fruity summer cocktail and hello to this rich maple bourbon cider cocktail!

I look forward to sipping on a warm cup of apple cider every fall, so I was surprised this was the first time I incorporated it into a cocktail! I asked Ian to taste test my new concoction and he gave it two thumbs-up, so it has been approved to be served to house guests (yay!)

Here is how you can make your own maple bourbon cider cocktail at home!

Fill two tumblers and a cocktail shaker with ice
Add 3 oz burbon, 3/4 cup apple cider, and 2 Tb maple syrup to cocktail shaker
Shake well and strain into tumblers
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and an apple wedge if desired

We started off the week with a heat wave and I tried to soak in as much sun as possible. Ian and I even skipped a few gym sessions in order to bike on the local trails. Fall is a beautiful season and it was a nice surprise to experience the changing colors on a warm evening.

Below are a few photos I snapped on our weekend trip back home. We attended a baby shower, filled our bellies at a church fundraiser, and took a walk around the farm.

What are your highlights from this week?
