Bourbon Apple Smash

Combine apples and bourbon in this fall-ready cocktail!

Bourbon and apples are two of autumn’s best ingredients, so why not combine them? Get a taste of sweet, fall produce and nutty, caramel flavors of the season in this Bourbon Apple Smash. The tartness of cherries, as a good garnish should, ties it all together. Frozen cherries from the freezer at your local grocery store will bring the flavor all winter long!
