Brown Butter Bourbon Apple Cider Cocktail

Store-bought apple cider spiked with bourbon and browned butter. Topped off with cinnamon whipped cream and apple chips for a sweet treat for the holidays!

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 32 oz. apple cider can be spiced
  • 8 oz. bourbon
  • store bought whipped cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • dried apple slices apple chips

Instructions

  • Start by browning the butter in a pot. Add 1 stick butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat, cooking until the butter begins to brown. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain using a mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl.
  • You can use a larger pot if you want less cleanup, but be careful as the butter will burn quicker since there is more surface area.
  • Now add the apple cider into a large pot (or the same one if you used a large one to begin with), and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. If you aren’t using a pre-spiced cider and want it to be spiced add one teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the cider. When the cider is simmering whisk in the strained browned butter.
  • To make the cinnamon whipped cream gently fold in one teaspoon of cinnamon into one cup of whipped cream.
  • Ladle the buttered cider into mugs, and add a shot of bourbon to each. Top with cinnamon whipped cream, apple chips, and cranberries.
