Nightmare on Bourbon Street

Apple cider and bourbon are two of my favorite beverages...and when I found a way to combine them in a tasty cocktail, I was pretty excited! Make a batch of this for your autumn festivities...

Cinnamon sugar for rim

1 1/2 ounces bourbon

1 ounce fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup apple cider

1-2 teaspoons real maple syrup

1 drop Ginger essential oil

1 drop Cinnamon Bark essential oil

5 ounces sparkling hard cider

Cinnamon stick, fresh rosemary and apple slice for serving

Rim a cocktail glass with cinnamon sugar. Add ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine next 6 ingredients and shake well. Strain into prepared glass. Top with hard cider. Add garnish.
