Apple Cider Old Fashioned 

Written By Maya Fidziukiewicz

Warm apple cider with a splash of brandy sounds like just the drink that would be paired with a plaid blanket, a movie, and the crackle of a fire. This recipe has no rules, just suggestions, so there is flexibility to have fun with it.

Ingredients:

  • ½ tsp brown sugar

  • ½ orange slice

  • ½ tsp grenadine

  • 1-2 maraschino cherries

  • 5 dashes bitters

  • 1 ½ oz brandy

  • 1 ½ oz apple cider

  • top with ginger ale

  • Garnish: apple slice, orange peel, cinnamon stick, maraschino cherry, crystalized sugar

Directions:

Add orange slides, cherries and brown sugar to your glass and mash them to release the juices from the fruits. Add grenadine and bitters, then pour in brandy and the cider. Top off your beverage with ginger ale and sprinkle on a garnish of choice. Now kick your feet up because you deserve to relax with your favorite show or a good book. Makes 2 servings.
