Bourbon Cider Recipe

Prepare the Cider

In a saucepan, combine the local apple cider, ground cinnamon, whole cloves, star anise, and orange peel. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming, but do not bring it to a boil.

Combine with Bourbon

Once the cider mixture is heated, remove it from the heat and strain to remove the spices and orange peel. Stir in the Evan Williams bourbon and maple syrup until well combined.

Serve

Pour the bourbon cider into a heatproof glass or mug. Optionally, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange for added flavor and presentation.
