Combine base ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 3 oz fresh apple cider, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (omit the syrup if your cider is very sweet). Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters if using.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker halfway with ice (about 4–6 large cubes), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Prepare glass and strain
Discard the chilling ice or water from your glass and fill it with fresh ice (crushed or cubes, about 1 cup). Strain the shaken mixture over the ice into the glass using a Hawthorne or fine strainer.

Top with ginger beer
Gently top the drink with 3 oz chilled ginger beer. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to integrate the ginger beer without flattening the fizz.
Garnish & serve
- 7
Float an apple slice and a lemon wheel on the surface or thread them on a cocktail pick. Add a piece of crystallized ginger on the rim or skewer for an extra spicy-sweet note.

Serve immediately with a straw if desired. Advise guests to give the drink a gentle stir before sipping to reincorporate the layers.
