Cinnamon Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail | Easy Halloween Bourbon Drink
An easy tasty cranberry-pomegranate and bourbon apple cider cocktail with cinnamon sticks that's perfect for celebrating a most haunted Halloween!
Equipment
Tall glass, spoon for mixing
Ingredients
- 1 apple Small Red McIntosh or Orchard apple - sliced for topping
- 2 whole Cinnamon sticks - for garnishing
- 3.5 oz Apple Cider - I used Indian Summer apple cider
- 1.0 oz Cranberry-Pomegranate Juice - I used Ocean Spray Cran-pom juice
- 1.5 oz Bourbon
- Sparkling Water - for topping if desired
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass (I used little mason jars) about halfway with ice and two cinnamon sticks.
- Pour in bourbon, cranberry pomegranate juice and apple cider.
- Stir to combine.
- Splash it with a little sparkling water over the top if desired for an added fizz. Give one more gentle stir if you do.
- Top with thin red apple slices and serve cold. As the bourbon, cider, and juices sit in the glass, the cinnamon sticks will infuse it with the subtle spice of cinnamon flavor.
Notes
Pomegranate seeds in place of apple slices sprinkled over the top would do nicely as a garnish too. Use your cinnamon stick to stir your drink as it sits. It will continue to release a soft subtle cinnamon flavor as you sip it.
