Cold Spiced Cider

Born and raised in the Bluegrass State, Amy is always looking for new ways to serve Kentucky bourbon. This whiskey-spiked drink provides all the comforts of a hot-spiced cider in a cool rocks-style cocktail.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 mL) apple cider (for mulling)
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 star anise
• 1 tsp whole cloves
• 1 orange, sliced
• 2 in (5 cm) fresh ginger, peeled and sliced lengthwise
• 1 cup (250 mL) bourbon
• 2 12-oz (355 mL) bottles hard pear cider
• 2 cups (500 mL) cold apple cider (for finishing)
• 1 tbsp orange zest, for garnish
• 8 star anise, for garnish

Prep

In a small saucepan on medium heat, combine apple cider, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, orange slices, and ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes to make a concentrate. Set aside and let cool.

Combine mulled apple cider, bourbon, pear cider, and cold apple cider in a large cocktail pitcher. Stir well and pour over ice. Garnish with orange zest and start anise.

Makes 8 servings.
