Martha’s Apple Cider Bourbon Sour

When it comes to being the Hostess with the mostest, Martha Stewart is the reigning queen, hands down. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, today we share with you her recipe for an Apple Cider Bourbon Sour.  It is an easy four ingredient cocktail but as always, presented with Martha’s special flair.  She offers it as a batch recipe made in a pitcher and we share that below as well as proportions for single servings.  In preparing for the drink, Martha serves it with Apple Cider ice balls as not to dilute the drink.  Should you have ice ball molds or large cube trays you will want to fill them with cider and freeze them solid in advance.  If you don’t have either of the above a simple ice cube tray will do.  Give the Apple Cider Bourbon Sour a try and be that host/hostess with the mostest for your family and friends.  Cheers!
