Brown-liquor cocktails. Fresh apple cider in every market.
To us, these are the indications that fall is underway, and this cocktail celebrates both in all their glory.
We find that a rich, dark rum is the perfect match for crisp cider. Fresh lemon juice and orange bitters punch up the flavor, while amaro, that classic Italian aperitif, cuts the sweetness, leaving a spicy and slightly bitter flavor in its place. Topping it off with ginger beer adds just the right amount of spice for a cocktail that embodies the season.
