Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • ½ oz reduced apple cider*
  • 1 tsp demerara sugar syrup (optional if cider is sweet)
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 1 dash cinnamon bitters (or a small pinch of ground cinnamon)
  • Orange peel
  • Garnish: apple slice or cinnamon stick, optional
  • ice cube

Instructions
 

  • *How to Reduce Apple Cider: Simmer 1 cup apple cider in a small saucepan until it reduces by roughly half. Cool before using. This concentrates flavor and gives the drink structure.
  • Add bourbon, reduced apple cider, bitters, and (if needed) demerara syrup to a mixing glass with ice.
  • Stir until well chilled—about 20 seconds.
  • Strain into a rocks glass over one large cube.
  • Express an orange peel over the drink, then drop it in.
  • Garnish with an apple slice or a cinnamon stick if you want a stronger aromatic finish.
