We’ve all said this year and we all know it, but it’s going to be a different holiday season than what we’re used to.

Seriously. It makes a delicious apple soda. I actually love it just as much without the bourbon!

Oh, and speaking of bourbon…that is the real secret behind this recipe. Make sure whatever bourbon you’re using has some cinnamon flavor to it. It’s not a necessity, but it does give this cocktail a delicious warming spice that makes it oh so delicious.

Think your favorite mug of spiced apple cider…just fizzy and a cocktail!
