Apple Cider Bourbon Sour

 This is Martha Stewart's her favorite Thanksgiving cocktail the recipe is from her company website. it's a great fall cocktail.

She starts by filling a pitcher with 8 ounces of bourbon—Martha likes to use Michter's Kentucky Straight Bourbon—and then adds in 16 ounces of apple cider. Note: For those interested in a mocktail, Martha says to swap the bourbon for orange juice. "It's nice, it's just like the virgin sour," she says.

Next, our founder uses a citrus juicer to squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Martha's tip for getting the most juice out of your fruit? After juicing one half of the lemon, place the second half on top and squeeze them both at the same time.

Once the bourbon, cider, and lemon juice are combined, stir (or shake if you made it in a cocktail tin rather than a pitcher) to thoroughly mix. "The shaking doesn't do anything unless you just want to make it cold instantaneously," Martha says. If you do go the shaking route, our founder recommends taking out the ice before serving so it doesn't melt and water down your beverage. the bourbon, cider, and lemon juice are combined, stir (or shake if you made it in a cocktail tin rather than a pitcher) to thoroughly mix.
