Instructions

Gather your ingredients and a jigger or measuring cup.
In a shaker, combine bourbon or spiced rum, apple cider, and fresh citrus juice. Shake with ice for about 15 seconds.
Strain into an ice-filled glass and top with ginger beer, pouring gently to maintain fizz.
Garnish with apple slices, a cinnamon stick, and orange rind.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute bourbon with sparkling apple cider or extra ginger beer.
Fresh-pressed apple cider gives the best flavor, but store-bought is a suitable alternative.
Adjust the sweetness with less cider or a drier ginger beer.
