I just love maple flavored anything so a cocktail with real maple syrup is my cup of tea…or bourbon in this case! Served hot or cold one thing’s for sure; this Bourbon Maple Apple Cider will warm you all the way through. Happy Friday friends!

    I’m not a fan of bourbon, but this sounds amazing. I actually have everything at home already, so it should probably happen ASAP.

    just made this for my husband, he said it was a little heavy on the lemon juice, but tasty!

    Can this be served warm? I would like to take a crockpot of it to a thanksgiving party.

    • Leah Bergman says

      If you serve it warm, just make sure not to add in the alcohol while it’s heating. You can keep a crockpot of the cider and then add bourbon to the individual glasses!

    We served these cold for our Turkey Day in Austria, hosting a local family. Rave reviews! I didn’t have “spiced” apple cider, so I used good apple juice and added a dash of cinnamon, allspice, and a mini-dash of cayenne pepper.

      Sounds delicious! Happy (belated) Turkey Day to you and your family. 🙂

    I just went through a bottle of Makers Mark wit this recipe. Unbelievable.

      Wowza! So glad you enjoyed it. This cocktail does go down a bit too easily. 😉

    What is spiced apple cider? Do you make that?

    Any recommendations for tweaking this recipe for a pitcher form?

    • Leah Bergman says

      November 1, 2015 at 3:53 pm

      I’ve never tried to increase the portion to a pitcher but I do have some other Bourbon cocktail recipes here that are already in pitcher potion: https://www.freutcake.com/in-the-kitchen/drinks-anyone/backyard-mothers-day-picnic/
