This Apple Butter Old Fashioned cocktail is fall in a glass.

Background: Our Apple Butter Old Fashioned is the perfect cocktail recipe for fall. It is dangerously delicious and will win over those non-bourbon fans. You don’t have to go out for a craft cocktail experience, when you can make it at home! The Apple Butter Old Fashioned is simple to make, but will wow your guests. It’s the perfect cocktail for fall entertaining and sitting around the bonfire. You can make it with your preferred bourbon or whisky. We are constantly switching it up, but we are typically partial to Colorado brands like 10th Mountain, 291, and Axe and the Oak.

  • 2 tablespoons apple butter
  • 1/4 cup apple cider

  2. Combine apple butter, apple cider, bourbon, and bitters in an ice filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously to combine.
