Autumn Harvest Hard Cider Drink
The Autumn Harvest Hard Cider is a fall-inspired cocktail using apple flavored vodka, bourbon and apple cider. Keep reading if you love cocktails, fall and relaxation.
I love a good cocktail. We honeymooned in the Bahamas and we were able to bring back a lot of flavored rum when we flew home. It was amazing and if I could do it all over again, I would try to bring back the maximum amount just to save some money and have even more of a variety in my cabinet. As much as I enjoy rum, I also love a good vodka drink.
In the fall and winter I’m more likely to try a drink that feels a little warmer. Enter the Autumn Harvest Hard Cider. (Fun fact: I live in Beer City and don’t drink beer. Give me a cocktail any day of the week. Another fun fact: I really don’t drink all that often anymore. I might have a cocktail every few months. Mom life can do that to a person.)
I really like that this drink has an apple twist on it. Since I don’t enjoy beer, the ciders I can get locally don’t appeal to me. I’ve tried them. I just can’t get past the hops in a beer (or cider) to really enjoy it. My husband is the opposite of me. But this drink uses apple cider and cranberry juice – and I really like juice with a touch of liquor!

I’d love to hear what drinks are inspiring you this season!
