Old Grand-Dad’s Furnace

Come in from the cold to a hot spiked cider. Here, sweet apple cider and bourbon get more festive from the addition of clove, cinnamon and Demerara syrup.

1½ oz. bourbon
5 oz. hot apple cider
1/8 oz. Demerara syrup (1:1)
1 clove
1 cinnamon stick
Tools: saucepan, spoon
Glass: mug or punch
Garnish: cinnamon stick

Combine all ingredients except the bourbon in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Pour into a mug and add the bourbon.
