- To a rocks glass, add apple simple syrup, bourbon and apple cider. Stir together.
- Carefully lower in a large ice cube or sphere.
- Top with a few dashes ginger and clove bitters.
- Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick.
Apple Simple Syrup
- Place diced apple, water, cinnamon stick and cloves in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don’t stir too much or press on the apples or the syrup will become cloudy.
- With a fine-mesh strainer, strain the liquid into a measuring cup. Discard the solids.
- Pour the liquid back into the saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar until dissolved, but don’t boil. Remove from heat.
- Store in an airtight, food-safe container such as a bottle or mason jar in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Notes
Simple syrup will keep refrigerated for up to 1 month in the fridge. If it begins to look cloudy, it's time to toss it out.
