Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Infused Apple Cider
- 1 qt apple cider
- 1 cinnamon stick
Whiskey Cocktail
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 4 oz whiskey or bourbon
- 3 oz cinnamon infused apple cider
Instructions
To Make the Cinnamon Infused Apple Cider
- Pour apple cider into a medium sauce pan and add the cinnamon stick.
- Warm over low heat and let the cinnamon infuse for approximately 10 minutes.
- Discard the cinnamon stick and let cool. Store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator and enjoy hot or cold.
To Make the Cocktail:
- Massage thyme sprigs to release the oils. Place both in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
- Add the whiskey/bourbon and cinnamon infused apple cider to the cocktail shaker.
- Add a handful of ice cubes and stir ingredients together with a cocktail stirrer or iced tea spoon.
- Divide the cocktail evenly between two rocks glasses. We like to serve over one large block or sphere of ice. If desired, garnish with apple peel and a sprig of thyme.
Notes
Make it hot: If you’d prefer a hot toddy during the cold winter months, simply add the whiskey cocktail ingredients to a small saucepan and stir until heated through. Remove the thyme sprigs and divide the boozy mixture evenly between two mugs.
