Welcome to Day 6 of Booze Week. Today is the last day for this round. Don't fret though, Boozy Desserts Week kicks off again in October. This one is the Halloween Edition of Boozy Desserts Week and will take place from October 20 to 24. You're welcome!

Today my special guest is the talented Erin Sellin of Dinners, Dishes and Desserts. Erin is a really good friend of mine, in and out of blogging.

She's amazing, always so open and generous with her time. She cooks up some of the most amazing treats you've ever seen.

I think the coolest part of blogging is meeting people with similar passions in life. I consider myself lucky to get to do what I love for a living.

Thanks so much to Erin for whipping up this fabulous cocktail for all of us today. I wish I was sipping on one right now. It looks so inviting!

Welcome to Erin!

Hi everyone! My name is Erin, and I write over at Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts. I live in Colorado with my husband and 9 year old son.

We love being outside and enjoying the mountains. I share tons of recipes, from snacks and appetizers, to easy dinners and desserts. Plus some cocktails along the way.

Apples are all over the place now, and I love it! Fall is my favorite seasoning. I hate that it leads into winter, but while it is here I fully enjoy it!

We actually have a cider press from when my husband was a kid, so every year we make our own apple cider. What better way to use up some of that apple cider than in a cocktail. And spicy bourbon just seemed like the perfect pair. So, Bourbon Apple Cider was born!

This time I mixed in a little ginger ale for some sweetness and fizz. If you want to go all out, you could even line the rim of your glasses with a cinnamon and sugar mixture. Too bad I didn’t think of that until too late!

The bourbon gives the apple cider a little heat and spice. Bourbon apple cider is perfect for sipping on a cool fall day.

Ingredient Notes:

Apple Cider - You can buy it or make your own.
Ginger Ale - Use any brand you love. Obviously, us Canucks love Canada Dry.
Triple Sec - This is an orange flavoured liqueur. It's typically made from dried peels of oranges. Use any brand you love.
Bourbon - Erin used Bulleit Bourbon for this recipe. If you can't find it substitute any bourbon you love.
Cinnamon Sticks - These are optional but add a bit of fun to any apple drink. Plus they are great for stirring drinks.

How to make Bourbon Apple Cider:

Add all the ingredients to a pitcher and mix together.
Pour over two glasses filled with ice.
