This apple cider and rye cocktail was the first to disappear at our recent holiday party. Likely because it’s seasonally appropriate and goes down very easily! It’s also easy to make with ingredients you are likely to have at home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. I used Rittenhouse Rye in my drink, but you could use any rye, bourbon, or whiskey and you’ll still love it. I’ve included the recipe to make two cocktails, but it’s easy to scale up.
