Perfect Autumn Cocktail

There is nothing quite like sitting around a fireplace, curled up in a blanket, watching football on a crisp fall weekend. Wait, yes there is- doing all those things while sipping the perfect autumn beverage. I love apple cider, so naturally I decided to pair it with my favorite alcohol to see how it went. Hint: It went well 😏

If you are looking for a great cocktail that will give you all the fall feels and will make you think you are sitting in the middle of a pumpkin patch, then here ya go:

The Bourbon Apple Cider

Glass Rim-

Maple Syrup

How-To:

2. On a small plate or in a shallow bowl, pour a small amount of syrup. Dip the rim of your glass of choice into the syrup, covering the entire rim of the glass

3. Dip the syrup-covered rim into the sugar and cinnamon mixture to create a sweet flavored rim. For best results, place the glass into the freezer for ten minutes to prevent the syrup from dripping down the glass
