John McKinnon's Promise

A crisp, apple-forward long cocktail that pairs bourbon's warm caramel and oak with bright apple brandy and fizzy cider. Sweetness from a sugar cube and a floating cherry give it dessert-like charm, while the effervescence keeps it light and very sip-able, a great choice for autumn gatherings or anyone who likes cider-forward boozy drinks.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 1 oz Apple Brandy
  • Fill Cider
  • 1 cube Sugar Cubes

Instructions

  1. Add bourbon whiskey and apple flavored brandy to a shaker half-filled with shaved ice.
  2. Shake vigorously until well chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a highball glass.
  4. Place a sugar cube at the bottom of the glass.
  5. Add three fingers of ice to cover the sugar cube and liquid.
  6. Slowly pour cider to fill the glass.
  7. Gently float a cherry on top as a garnish.
