How To Use These Fall Mixers
Apple Cider
The very essence of fall in a glass. Apple cider’s tart and sweet profile makes it an excellent partner for bourbon whiskey. It complements the caramel undertones of the bourbon and ushers in a taste reminiscent of apple pie.
Ginger Beer
A fizzy treat for those who seek a bit of spice. Ginger beer adds a zesty kick to your drink, creating a fiery and invigorating cocktail – a bourbon mule. This goes GREAT with any Irish Whiskey you may have on hand.
Maple Syrup
What spells fall more than maple? A dash of maple syrup can sweeten and add depth to your drink, making every sip a cozy embrace. Have Canadian Whiskey on hand? It was made for maple syrup.
Chai Tea
Infuse your bourbon with the spicy warmth of chai. This aromatic tea, with its spices and herbs, blends harmoniously with bourbon’s rich notes, creating a soothing fall concoction.
Pumpkin Puree
Embrace the pumpkin craze. Blend your bourbon with a dash of pumpkin puree and some spices for a creamy, festive cocktail.
Cranberry Juice
Tangy and vibrant, cranberry juice provides a sharp contrast to whiskey’s sharpness, resulting in a balanced and refreshing drink.
Cream Soda
This sweet, vanilla-flavored soda complements bourbon’s vanilla notes, leading to a rich, velvety cocktail ideal for dessert.
Earl Grey Tea
The citrusy notes of bergamot in Earl Grey can enhance the more subtle, fruity undertones in bourbon, making it a relaxing evening sipper.
Hot Chocolate
For those chillier fall nights, mix your bourbon with hot chocolate for a velvety, warming treat with a kick.
Honey and Lemon
This duo, reminiscent of a hot toddy, is perfect for those under-the-weather days or when you just need some comforting warmth.
Incorporating any of these mixers is bound to elevate your party game this fall. Cheers to vibrant fall colors and the heartwarming taste of the perfect bourbon mix! 🍂🥃
