Description

This cocktail is full of Autumnal flavors but, unlike many seasonal drinks, it is served cold, making it ideal for the current mild weather.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 ounces Canadian whiskey (other whiskeys will work here as well)
  • 1 1/2 ounces apple cider
  • 1 Tbsp. spiced simple syrup (see recipe below)
  • 1/4 oz. lemon juice
  • 12 dashes bitters
  • Lemon twist, for garnish
  • Ice

Spiced Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup (or equal part) sugar
  • 1 cup (or equal part) water
  • Small handful spices: cinnamon sticks, star anise, whole allspice, whole cloves, black peppercorns, cardamom seeds or pods, etc. Think wintery baking spices. In this batch I used 3 small cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, 4 allspice, 3 cloves, and 4 or 5 black peppercorns.

Instructions

  1. Combine and shake ingredients, strain, and garnish: Combine all liquid ingredients except the bitters in a shaker half-filled with ice; shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Add 1-2 dashes of bitters on top and garnish with a lemon twist.

Spiced Simple Syrup

  1. Simmer ingredients, cool, and store: Simmer sugar, water, and spices in a small pot over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer another 5-8 minutes, then let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
