Ingredients Needed:
- 4 ounces best quality bourbon
- 4 ounces apple brandy, such as Calvados
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Few dashes apple bitters, such as Bar Keep
- 8 ounces hard cider, cold
How To Make Apple Comfort?
- Prepare the Cocktail Mix: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the bourbon, apple brandy, maple syrup, and bitters. Shake everything thoroughly until well chilled.
- Serve the Drinks: Strain the mix into two tall glasses filled with ice cubes, then top each glass with 120 ml / 4 oz of cold hard cider.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Give each drink a gentle stir, add a thin apple slice for a festive touch, and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips:
- Pick quality bourbon and apple brandy: Use a good-quality bourbon and apple brandy like Calvados to get the best taste and smoothness in your drink.
- Use cold hard cider: Make sure your hard cider is cold before adding it. This keeps the drink fresh and stops ice from watering it down too fast.
- Measure ingredients correctly: Measure each ingredient to get a balanced drink. Too much or too little of any ingredient can change the whole taste.
- Shake with enough ice: Shake the mixture with plenty of ice to cool it properly and slightly soften the strong alcohol flavor.
- Chill your glasses: Keep your glasses cold so the cocktail stays colder and tastes better longer.
How To Store Leftovers?
If you have leftover Apple Comfort, first allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it into a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
