Fall Cocktail: BOURBON APPLE CIDER

A few years ago, chef and author Virginia Willis was a guest on the blog. She shared an absolutely delicious bourbon apple cider cocktail recipe, and today, I’m reviving it from the archives. It will be perfect for a fall weekend spent outdoors. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can always top this off with a splash of ginger beer for a nod to the flavor. Cheers to fall!
