Prost to the Oktoberfest season! 🍻 Living near a German community means the steins are clinking, the polka’s playing, and the pretzels are plentiful.

In a cocktail mixing glass, add all ingredients and stir with ice. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick. An optional choice is a bowl of pretzels. For the pretzel-infused bourbon, combine 1 cup crushed pretzels and 1 cup bourbon and let soak for 24 hours. Strain through cheesecloth or coffee filter.
Editor's Note
Pretzel-infused bourbon adds a savory, salty backbone to this apple-cider riff. A seasonal sipper that balances orchard sweetness with a hint of Oktoberfest flair.
