It is a sublimely simple and delicious preparation for a wide range of spirits besides just whiskey—rum, tequila, brandy—and a fine apple brandy is no exception. Showcasing the earthy flavor of fermented apples with just a bit of sugar and bitters is a perfect preparation to enjoy classic holiday flavors in a new way.

Place a large chunk of ice into the glass filled with sugar and bitters and add the apple brandy. Stir well to incorporate the sugar and brandy.

To Make the Cocktail:

I came upon this recipe a few weeks ago. We are in South Texas and we finally have had a cold snap....We made this beverage tonight and enjoyed it around our fire pit...Oh My!! this was wonderful - only changes are that we did not do a sugar rim on the glass and we added a squeeze of fresh lemon to our drink...This was a great drink  for a cool evening!! We will do this again for sure!!

We did this for New Years day, super simple and tastes great! Even the non-bourbon lovers enjoyed it. :)

Made this for the past 2 years for Halloween. You can pretty much double the bourbon without ever tasting it. Also, a bit of lemon juice to cut the sweetness bc between the cider and bourbon it's VERY sweet.

This spiked apple cider sounds perfect to me! Bourbon is my go to during the fall and winter. Cheers!

Just made this and it's delicious! Thanks!
