Bourbon Apple Cider Tips and Notes:

Allowing the cider to simmer with the spices unlocks a depth of flavors, making every sip a journey through autumn. If you’re short on time, you can warm the cider without the extended simmering, but that slow infusion really elevates the drink.

This recipe caters to about 4-6 servings, depending on your mug size.

Not everyone is a fan of cloves or star anise, and that’s okay! Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your palate. A sprig of fresh rosemary can also be a unique addition, giving it a touch of herbaceous aroma. Whatever your choice, here’s to celebrating fall in all its glory!
