Autumn is upon us good hackers and what better way to celebrate the season than with a cocktail! Â Wanting a drink reminiscent of fall with flavors to match, I reached for whiskey, apple and a touch of cinnamon and came out with a cocktail that’s easy to drink and very tasty.
Autumn Sour
1 1/2 oz Whiskey * 1 oz Lemon Juice 2 oz Apple Cider 1/2 oz Cinnamon Liqueuer ** 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
1) Combine everything in a shaker with ice 2) Shake until well chilled and strain into a cocktail glass 3) Garnish with a dried or fresh apple slice
* I went with a blend of 1 oz Johnnie Walker Red Label and 1/2 oz Rye. I wanted a light smokey note from the Scotch with the spiciness of the rye. However, you can (and should) use whatever suits your taste.
** If you can track down Fyr from J&L Distilling in Boulder, CO DO IT!  So tasty.  If not, I’d recommend using a more complex cinnamon liqueur like Original Cinn from Hiram Walker.
