Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 oz caramel syrup
  • 1/2 oz apple cider
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for caramel
  • 2 tablespoons water for caramel
  • 1 apple slice for caramelizing
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Large ice cube or regular ice

Method
 

  1. Make the caramel syrup by heating sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and amber in color, then carefully whisk in water. Let cool completely.
  2. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat and add the apple slice. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and golden. Set aside.
  3. In an old fashioned glass, combine bourbon, caramel syrup, apple cider, and bitters.
  4. Add a large ice cube and stir gently for 30 seconds to chill and dilute slightly.
  5. Garnish with the caramelized apple slice and cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.
