Any mid-range bourbon will work for this recipe. I used Jim Beam and loved it, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand, or whatever brand you prefer. You could also swap out the bourbon for any other dark liquor you prefer if bourbon isn’t your liquor of choice. I would stay away from the clear liquors like vodka or gin though because you really need the flavors that dark liquor brings to make this cocktail have all those great fall flavors we love. This recipe is easy as pie and will give you ALL of those fall feelings. You only need a few simple tools and it can be thrown together in minutes. So, if you randomly get in the mood for a fall cocktail this season, you’ll want to keep everything on hand to make this cocktail. To mix up this creation you’ll just fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the cider, bourbon and lemon juice. Shake and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Then top it off with ginger ale or ginger beer and garnish with an apple slice, cinnamon stick and thyme sprig. How to make this easy cocktail
