Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 6 apples, any kind
- One 750-milliliter bottle Kentucky bourbon
- 9 ounces fresh lemon juice
- Handful of sage leaves
Instructions
- For the apple cider syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the sugar. Turn off heat and set syrup aside.
- Heat a grill to high heat. Core and cut the apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the equator (leave skin on). Grill apples 4 for 5 minutes on each side. Place apples in a high-speed blender with the syrup. Blend until smooth. Strain and set aside. (Apple cider syrup will last in the refrigerator for up to 14 days).
- For the cocktail: Fill a large pitcher with ice. Add the bourbon, lemon juice and 9 ounces of the apple cider syrup. Stir and pour into tall Collins glasses filled with ice. Garnish each drink with a sage leaf.

Delicious! Made this to take to thanksgiving and wanted to make sure we would like it…well we definitely do and I think I may have to make more cider before then. I’m sure some store bought cider would work too but will make it from scratch if I can cause it’s worth it. We feel it’s a drink that will sneak up on ya because it does go down easy but yummy for sure. Thanks for the recipe.
