Ingredients

Apple Thyme Syrup

  • 1 Sunrise Magic® apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 10 thyme sprigs

Bourbon Smash Cocktail – makes 4 cocktails

  • 4 tbsp homemade apple thyme syrup
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 8 oz bourbon
  • 12 oz bottle hard apple cider, chilled
  • Apple slices, to garnish
  • Thyme sprigs, to garnish

Directions

  1. Make the apple thyme syrup by adding all of the syrup ingredients to a small saucepan. Heat the pan over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the mixture has slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
  2. After cooling, remove the thyme sprigs out of the syrup, and use a fork to smash the apples. This will be a jam-like consistency.
  3. To make the cocktails, add 1 tbsp of the apple thyme syrup to the bottom of each serving glass. Fill each cup up with ice.
  4. In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon juice, bourbon, and a handful of ice. Place the lid on and shake until chilled. Strain and pour over ice into the serving glasses, dividing evenly between the 4 glasses.
  5. Top each glass off with the hard apple cider.
  6. Garnish with apple slices and thyme to serve!
