Honeycrisp Maple Bourbon Cocktail
The following recipe and photography was provided by recipe developer and food photographer, Ashley Durand of Plate & Pen.
Warm or cold, this apple cider-inspired adult friendly drink really hits the spot on a fall evening.
Honeycrisp seems to be the apple of the season, so I couldn’t resist making it the star of this seasonal sipper. Spiked with bourbon and infused with Heinen’s delicious bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, serve this cocktail in a glass rimmed with pumpkin pie spice and granulated sugar to achieve maximum fall flavor.
Let’s drink!
