I learned this week that Michigan is the second leading producer of apples in the United States. My daughter was suppose to bring some apples home from grandpa’s apple trees. She forgot the apples but brought home some apple cider. All that to say probably should garnish this cocktail with apple slices but mine are still hanging on the tree.

Editor's Note

Amaretto provides a nutty base for crisp apple cider, while a splash of bourbon adds necessary oaky structure. A seasonal sour that balances orchard fruit with warm, autumnal spice.
