Apple Cider Maple Fizz is a bourbon-based cocktail with a sweet maple and cider taste. This simple drink, with a hint of cinnamon and splash of ginger beer fizz, is Fall in a glass.
If your days are already turning crisp and you’d like to warm them up then try this apple cider hot toddy cocktail as well.
Apple Cider Maple Fizz
Traditional cocktails, such as a dirty martini or a basic margarita have always been my favorite, however, creative seasonal drinks come in a close second. As someone who isn’t a bourbon drinker, I find this Apple Cider Maple Fizz to be absolutely delicious. It truly tastes like fall in a glass.
This cocktail will compliment your weekend gatherings or seasonal parties. Toasting friends with a maple fizz and reflecting on all you have to be Thankful for will create sweet shared memories.
How Much Bourbon to Use
I myself am not much of a bourbon drinker, however, my husband enjoys the various kinds and unique flavors the aged beverage has to offer. I prefer a little less in my drink, whereas he prefers a tad more. The recipe below is slightly in the middle of a light splash of bourbon, and a good amount. It’s up to you how much or how little you’d like to add.

Yum! I tried this out and it’s the perfect fall-Bourbon cocktail. I’m making a batch of these to sip on while trick or treating!
Aimee! I love this fall drink. Cider is one of my favorite things about fall (just ask the cider scented candle in my kitchen!!). Unfortunately, I’m staying away from alcoholic beverages right now (no problems or pregnancy, but the calories add up so fast!) but I’ll have to recommend this to my cider loving friends!
Oh, Danielle, life can be so unfair when it comes to calories, right?!?! Well, I do have to say I did make one of these drinks up without the alcohol so my kids could enjoy some fall fun and it tastes good without, although not quite as fun, the bourbon.
If you don’t like it you just don’t like it! There are people in the world who don’t like chocolate or ice cream either. I think they are crazy, but they do exist. đŸ˜‰
This really is a nice fall cocktail.
Why thank you Ben! The non-chocolate and non-ice cream loving people of the world just can’t be real… ???? Parsnips I can get but chocolate?!?!
