Happy Hour: A Warm Apple Cider Cocktail

Nov 19, 2021

It has been a wintry mix of snow and rain at my house recently.  Usually, I don’t mind winter (it’s a part of nature, after all), but this time, I am not ready.  Hopefully, a warm, comforting cocktail can get me in better spirits.

This Honey Bourbon Apple Cider cocktail comes to us from Hello Glow.  You warm cider, apples and spices in a pan, and then, add Bourbon.  This time of year, many grocers have fresh apple cider for sale, but Martinelli’s is also a good choice.  And while she serves this drink in tumblers, I would use our double-walled clear coffee cups so I could make it a little warmer.

As for the Bourbon, I like Four Roses Single Barrel.  For this application, I might even consider using some maple Sortilege whisky that I have on hand.

I dig this cozy, but sophisticated Ted Baker cable sweater.  (Frankly, I love the whole look.)  The pattern in the weave is great.  The neck isn’t too constricting.  And I like how it maintains a relaxed feel but is still pretty.

Ted Baker has a big sale going on right now.  The brand has been hurting in the WFH years.  So if you’re looking for work basics, I would take a trip by the site.

For the office, I really like this patterned shirt dress.  This tailored navy blazer is also a nice option for <$200.  Need dresses for holiday parties?  I found this puff sleeve, wrap dress and this very cool black dress.  They would both make fab party attire.

    Cocktail sounds Yummy.
    FYI received my order of Wit & Wisdom jeans based on post a few days ago–Thank you I love them. True to size, great fabric. I am 5’4″ and they will need a hem.Dark blue seems a bit dressier.
