Equipment

  • Equipment needed: Cocktail shaker, jigger (or measuring spoons), muddler (optional), rocks glass

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz fresh apple cider
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2-3 oz soda water for the fizz
  • Apple slices and cinnamon stick for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions:
  • Prepare the glass
  • Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes and set aside. If you’re feeling fancy, rim the glass with some cinnamon sugar by moistening the rim with a lemon wedge and dipping it into a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Mix the base
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, apple cider, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  • From my own personal experience, adjusting the simple syrup to your sweetness preference makes a big difference in flavor, so tweak it as needed!
  • Shake it up
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This step chills the drink while blending the flavors together nicely.
  • Add the fizz
  • Strain the mixture into your prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Top off with soda water to create that lovely fizz.
  • Garnish
  • Garnish your drink with a few thin apple slices and a cinnamon stick for extra flair. This not only makes the drink look amazing but adds a subtle aroma.
  • Enjoy!
  • Stir gently and enjoy your Apple Bourbon Fizz!
  • Variations:
  • Apple Ginger Fizz: Swap the soda water for ginger beer to add a spicy kick to your cocktail.
  • Smoky Twist: Use a smoked or barrel-aged bourbon to give the drink a smoky undertone.
  • Apple Bourbon Mule: Instead of soda water, add ginger ale and serve in a copper mug for a bourbon twist on a classic Moscow Mule.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the bourbon and substitute with non-alcoholic whiskey or extra apple cider for a tasty mocktail version. It’s just as refreshing!
