Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz whiskey
  • 3 oz apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon apple butter
  • ginger beer to top (I like zero sugar ginger beer)
  • apple slices or cinnamon stick for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add whiskey, apple cider, and apple butter to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake well until the apple butter has fully blended into the liquid.
  • Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top with chilled ginger beer and gently stir.
  • Garnish with apple slices or a cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • Shake the cocktail thoroughly so the apple butter fully incorporates, and the drink stays smooth.
  • Add the ginger beer right before serving so the bubbles stay fresh.
  • Choose a whiskey you enjoy drinking since its flavor will shine through.
  • Mocktail version: Shake apple cider and apple butter with ice, strain, and top with ginger beer or sparkling apple cider.
