Autumn in New England: A Perfect Fall Cocktail

The key to this cocktail is bourbon (rye works too), with its smoky undertones, and a dash of maple syrup to bring out a fall-inspired sweetness. Adding a bit of sage might seem unusual, but it truly evokes the flavors of Thanksgiving. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for apple picking, hiking through fallen leaves, or boozing around the fire pit.

Notes

Friendly note: The OG recipe calls for adding Apple Cider Vinegar. DO NOT do this. Ew... But if you're a sadist, and you truly must be authentic, then the traditional recipe calls for 1/4 oz of ACV to be added into the mix. Cringe
