Tips:

  • Choose the right bourbon: Opt for a bourbon that is smooth and not too smoky, such as a wheated bourbon or a bourbon that has been aged for at least four years.
  • Use fresh apple cider: Fresh apple cider will give your cocktail a more vibrant flavor than store-bought cider. If you can't find fresh apple cider, you can substitute apple juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: If you find that your cocktail is too tart, you can add a touch of sweetness with simple syrup or honey. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish with a cinnamon stick or apple slice: This will add a touch of festive flair to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Bourbon Cider Sour is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any fall gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of bourbon, apple cider, lemon juice, and maple syrup, this cocktail is sure to be a hit with your guests.
