1
Build and chill
Add bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and angostura bitters into a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice.
2
Stir
Stir briskly with a bar spoon for about 15–20 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (or shake if you prefer a lighter, frothier texture).
3
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice (about 4–6 cubes).
4
Combine
Strain the bourbon mixture over the fresh ice in the prepared glass.
5
Top with cider
Gently top with 12 oz (one can or bottle) of Angry Orchard hard apple cider. Pour slowly down the side to preserve carbonation.

6
Express a lemon twist over the drink (optional) and rub the rim of the glass with it for aroma, then drop in or discard.
7
Float the apple wheel on top of the cider as a garnish. Serve with a straw or stir stick.
8
Serve immediately while cider is fizzy.
