Apple Cider Whiskey Rose
Introducing Thanksgiving’s most sophisticated cocktail ever! Move your ice chest of beer and boxed wine outside this year because there is a new cocktail in town! The flavors in this cocktail basically feel like Fall in a glass. This cocktail is comprised of a homemade rosemary simple syrup, whiskey and my favorite: hard apple cider! I think hard apple cider is an amazing secret weapon when making fall cocktails! The bubbles and subtle sweetness give every easy cocktail a little omph!
To make your busy holiday easier, be sure to make the simple syrup the night before or even a few days ahead of time! Doing this will make being ‘bartender’ miles easier! Follow along this easy recipe below for this years Thanksgiving cocktail!
