Cider Bourbon Smash

Harvest season means finding new ways to incorporate apples into practically everything – and this Cider Bourbon Smash is perfectly poised to be a new fall favorite. Pick up fresh apple cider from your local orchard. If that’s not an option, look in the refrigerated section of your grocery store near the juice aisle. Some grocers sell local seasonal products, including fresh ciders, during the autumn months. Unfiltered apple juice is an alternative if you’re in a pinch.
