Old Fashioned cocktails can tend to be a little strong, and spirit-heavy, especially for folks who usually favor something like wine or beer.

But this Apple Cider Old Fashioned introduces fall flavors to the classic cocktail, which makes it a little more mellow around the edges and much more drinkable.

It also brings you right into the fall season with this lovely, smokey apple flavor!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Apple Cider. After you make your Old Fashioned you can try this cocktail too!

Whiskey. Your favorite bottle of bourbon will serve perfectly for this cocktail! Nothing fancy, just something mid-range and solid.

Bitters. Angostura bitters are great. Or you can make your own!

Apples. Sliced apples make a pretty garnish, but you can skip them if you don’t have any on hand.

Cinnamon Sticks. Same for the cinnamon sticks! If you have some on hand, fantastic – but no need to make a run to the store for them.

How to Make an Apple Cider Old Fashioned Cocktail

2. Over the ice, pour 2 oz of whiskey, 1/2 cup of apple cider, and 2 dashes of bitters.
3. Stir gently until chilled and thoroughly mixed.

When to Serve

I love making any kind of Old Fashioned cocktail for cozy and intimate evenings in at home.

Whether I’m having a few friends over, or it’s just my husband and I, the Apple Cider Old Fashioned would be my go-to for a quiet game night or movie night in.
