Missed Autumn

Welcome back Cover to Cocktails fans. We apologize for the rocky summer and fall. We've had a few life events happening, but we're back with a wonderful book from our favorite series and a tasty drink to go along with it! In honor of The Bullet That Missed we bring to you Missed Autumn. A cocktail that will leave you wishing you had more. I was inspired by one of the main character's hidden love of cider and thought this would be a perfect fall cocktail. It will definitely warm up your soul on those chilly fall days!

This cocktail is bourbon based but blends so well with the other ingredients we didn't even notice it. The maple syrup is great combined with the lemon juice for a bit of sweet and sour. And then of course who doesn't love cider this time of year. Susan was very thrifty and even though she couldn't find cider she made her own (go Susan!). We both loved with cocktail. We found it smooth, wonderfully flavorful and it definitely warmed us up. We would both make it again and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Until next time have a drink, read a book and be happy!
