Description
This apple cider bourbon latte combines coffee, apples, and whiskey. The apple and bourbon flavors are subtle—the coffee is still the star—but they add a cozy fall vibe. It's warm, complex, delicious, and a great way to use up all the apple cider you bought while you were apple picking.
Ingredients
Scale
4 shots espresso (or approximately 1 cup of strongly brewed coffee) (see note 1)
1 shot bourbon whiskey (1.5 ounces or about 3 tablespoons) (see note 2)
1 cup milk (use whatever you normally drink)
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Divide espresso or coffee equally between two 8-ounce mugs. Then add half a shot of bourbon to each mug (half a shot is .75 fluid ounces or about 1.5 tablespoons).
- Combine apple cider, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg and froth with a steam or electric milk frother. If you don't have a frother, here's a good tutorial on other frothing methods that don't require any special equipment.
- Divide the frothed milk between the two mugs and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have an espresso machine, you can buy some espresso shots from a local coffee shop, or you can substitute strongly brewed regular coffee.
- If you're hesitant about bourbon, decrease the total amount to half a shot.
