Fall Fest

This one gets its name from the instant nostalgia that hits me when I drink it. Think hometown fall festival … roasted nuts, caramel apples, and maple everything. You’ll notice this cocktail calls for 6 oz hard cider, meaning one 12 oz bottle will give you two cocktails … One for you and one for your date that will surely be impressed with your new mixology skills. 😉

Here’s what you need:

fullsizerender-21-300x225-1

1 oz Black Walnut SweetShine

1 oz Bourbon

1/2 oz Maple Syrup (or more, to taste)

6 oz Hard Cider
