With the leaves changing, apples falling, and (as it should be) the bourbon flowing, this silky smooth Cider Bourbon Fizz is going to become your new best friend. Your newest bestestest boozy friend, that is.
You can’t really think about fall without thinking of spiced cider. The cinnamon, clove, and touch of orange. It’s all just made to be mixed with a splash of Kentucky gold.
Everyone loves a fizz, with the most recognizable being the gin fizz, but there are several variations that I have found to be even better than the traditional. A silver fizz holds the addition of egg white, a bar trick for the smoothest cocktail you’ll ever have. I used this same base for our most popular post of the entire 2014 year, Amaretto Southern.
To successfully fluff an egg white into your cocktail, a dry shake is the absolute best way to start. You simply toss all of the ingredients, whites included, into the shaker and give it hell. The more that you can toss it around, the better.
Once you have everything in a tizzy, you add the ice and give it hell onnnnnne more time. I promise, these arm exercises can be a total replacement for any considerations of time in the gym. Your shaking it up will be worth it’s effort.
Lift your newly formed muscles for a cheers to fall and everything delicious that it brings. Pop in Hocus Pocus and start carving those punk ins, pumpkin. It’s only the best time of the year.
Enjoy, y’all!

Suddenly, my bourbon and ginger beer doesn’t seem nearly as enticing.

I’m afraid of egg whites ( I have NO idea why but it makes me really nervous.. lolol) but i must try.. i love cider and bourbon and..

That’s not a crazy fear to have. If you look into it a bit, usually the issues are with people with low immune systems (young children and elderly, generally). Most of the risk is eliminated by purchasing egg whites that have been kept cold from the beginning and then keeping them cold until you are ready to use. Most grocery products fit this bill pretty well. You can alternatively use egg white substitutes (like in the carton), but those aren’t true whites and just don’t taste the same. Tiny risks like this are just part of the kitchen life. Enjoy!

YUM!!! I had a sample of some cider while walking through Williams Sonoma last week and I’ve been CRAVING since then. And I’m always down for some Bourbon, so. Can’t wait to try this!
