Since it reminds us of drinking apple cider & toasting marshmallows around a bonfire, we decided to call this the Bonfire Bourbon Cider, because not all pumpkins lost their lives on Halloween…. Our Autumn cocktail…. Bonfire Bourbon Cider consists of Bourbon, apple cider, fresh lemon juice, cranberry-maple simple syrup, and a garnish of cranberry and/or a rosemary sprig. Of course don’t forget the pumpkin that lost it’s life to provide us a smoking container! This screams of Autumn!
