Spiced Apple Maple Ginger Cocktail

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Spiced Apple Maple Ginger Cocktails!

Makes 1 cocktail.

1/2 cup hard apple cider (I used Bold Rock)

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 1/2 ounce bourbon

6 drops Dashfire Apple Spiced bitters (or more to taste)

1/4 cored Honey Crisp apple, sliced thin

2 splashes ginger beer

Place hard apple cider and maple syrup in a small saucepan, stir to combine. Heat the cider mixture to boiling, then reduce heat to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a small bowl. Place mixture in freezer for two minutes to cool.

Place bourbon and hard apple cider mixture in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a Collins cocktail glass filled with small ice cubes and apple slices. Add apple spiced bitters and 2 splashes of ginger beer. Mix with long handled spoon.
