"Stewart shared the recipe on her website, and it couldn't be easier to replicate at home. All you need is your favorite apple cider and a bottle of mid-range bourbon, along with some lemon juice and a few spoons of premium maple syrup. Some of the ingredients are more key than others, but there are a few adjustments you can make."
"If you want, you can swap in rye whiskey for the bourbon, which will eliminate some of the sweetness from the drink. If you are using bourbon, any type will do, but you only need about ¾ cup. If you have a bottle from one of the best bourbon brands, you may as well use it. As for the cider, you can't swap in apple juice or hard cider. You need about one cup of that good ol' fresh apple cider straight from the farm."
"When you think of Martha Stewart, a boozy cocktail probably isn't the first thing you picture. The home and garden guru is more associated with picture-perfect meals and pristine table settings than bottles of bourbon and whiskey, but Stewart does have quite a few tricks up her sleeve -- and one is a delicious maple-bourbon cider cocktail. The fall-inspired drink is just as cozy as it sounds, including warming components and an optional fiery garnish."
The maple-bourbon cider cocktail blends fresh apple cider with mid-range bourbon, lemon juice, and pure maple syrup to create a cozy fall drink. Rye whiskey can be substituted to reduce sweetness. Use about three-quarters cup bourbon and about one cup fresh apple cider; apple juice and hard cider are not suitable replacements. High-quality maple syrup and fresh lemon juice are recommended, with amounts adjustable to taste. Serve shaken or stirred with a sprinkle of cayenne, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Pair the drink with maple-roasted snack mix, toasted nuts, kettle corn, or a charcuterie board for seasonal gatherings.
