Light like a highball, but hearty and warming, party-friendly yet sophisticated, this cocktail is so classy that it’s hard to believe it’s nothing more than bourbon, ginger beer, and hard cider poured over ice, with a dash of bitters. Use a cider that’s on the drier side; Austin Eastciders is a widely available favorite.
