Perfect for any time of year but especially nice on a crisp fall evening maybe around a bonfire or at the pumpkin patch.

Ingredients

  • Whiskey – rye whiskey or any whiskey you have available. Even flavor infused whiskey like cinnamon, butterscotch or caramel whiskey.

    What is dry hard cinder? Maybe a brand name so I know what I’m shopping for! I love like this recipe and can’t wait to taste it.

      I’m glad you like the sound of it! It is so good. Dry hard cider is just apple cider that has been fermented and contains alcohol. The ‘dry’ just refers to the fact that it’s unsweet or a less sweet version. There are some very sweet and readily available ciders on the market, but if you can find one that is less sweet it would be best here. You could for sure just substitute the sweeter hard cider or just use more apple juice for a less strong version. Hope that helps! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the cocktail once you make it. Cheers!

      Oh and I have a few favorite brands of hard cider.. Samuel Smith is delicious and so are Finnriver, Snowdrift but may be a bit harder to find outside of Washington State. Crispin, Ace, STella Artois and Smith and Forge are most likely the easiest to find everywhere. Hope that helps!
