I was so excited to share some Fall Entertaining tips on the Pottery Barn Blog {check it out here!}. They have the prettiest Fall entertaining and decor selection, and it really makes all the difference when it comes to hosting; like these flameless birch candles and this antique silver ice bucket {I selected some of my favorites for you to shop at the bottom of this post!}. So today I wanted to share a Fall cocktail that I whipped up especially for this photo shoot, which includes my favorite Fall ingredient Apple Cider. My husband is a huge Bourbon lover, so I knew these would be a hit at my upcoming party, and the icing on the cake is the addition of ginger beer for a bit of fizz {I fell in love with Ginger Beer from Moscow Mules!}. Thank you to the blog, Self Proclaimed Foodie for inspiring this recipe.

Apple Ginger Cocktail Ingredients:

• 1 piece of fresh ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons simple syrup
• 1 shot of bourbon whiskey
• 1 shot of ounces apple cider
• 1 shot of chilled ginger beer

Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the ginger with the simple syrup. Add bourbon and cider.

2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well.

3. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass and top with ginger beer.

4. Garnish with an apple wedge, serve, and enjoy!
