Cinnamon Bourbon Cider Fizz
Apple and bourbon are pretty much a match made in heaven. Bourbon has a rich, mapley flavor and the apple cider is crisp, sweet, and refreshing. Add warm, spicy cinnamon syrup and you've got the coziest Fall cocktail there ever was.
Cinnamon Bourbon Cider Fizz
makes 1 cocktail
4 oz hard apple cider (I reccommend a crisp, clean, unflavored variety)
1 oz bourbon (such as Bulleit)
1 oz cinnamon simple syrup (recipe below)
Pellegrino, to finish
rosemary sprig, to garnish
In a rocks glass or mason jar, combine the cider, bourbon, and cinnamon syrup. Stir to combine and add ice then top with Pellegrino. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
1/4 c raw sugar
1/4 c water
2 cinnamon sticks (or 1/2 t ground cinnamon)
Whisk together the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the the sugar has dissolved then remove from heat and allow the cinnamon sticks to steep until the syrup has cooled, then remove them.
