With winter temps holding strong, you’ll need something to warm your core this weekend. The Appalachian Buck features Old Forester’s 1870 bourbon, known for a palate of “baking spices (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg) that flows into a citrus-fruit mix and shortbread sweetness”. Between the ginger beer, apple cider and layered spice finish from the bourbon, you won’t even notice it’s an iced cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 oz Old Forester 1870
• 1 oz Apple Cider
• .5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
• .25 oz Maple Syrup
• 3 oz Ginger Beer
