My family and I visited Pennings Orchard for some fun apple picking and family fun! What I wasn't executing was to fall in love with their apple cider and this amazing Bourbon Apple Cider punch on their menu.
My husband and I tried their hard ciders and this Burbon punch and we were both in heaven! So, I made it my mission to try and recreate their drink. Here's the recipe:
For the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Syrup
1/2 cup of dark brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
For the punch
1/2 cup of cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup
3 cups of Bourbon (skip this for a mocktail)
4 cups of apple cider
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of lemon juice
2 cups of club soda
Nutmeg to taste
To make this delicious cocktail, first you want to make your cinnamon-brown sugar simple syrup. combine equal parts water and brown sugar in a small sauce pan with 2 cinnamon sticks and simmer until reduced. Once the syrup is reduced, remove the cinnamon sticks (discard) and chill the syrup.
Once the syrup has chilled grab a pitcher and combine all the remaining ingredients. I also added some orange slices and chunks of chopped apples. Pour over ice and enjoy!
These are some of my favorite glass and pitchers to use for a cocktail like this.
