This Apple Cider Bourbon Ginger Fizz is basically fall in a glass — crisp apple cider, smooth bourbon, and a spicy splash of ginger beer come together for the perfect Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving cocktail. It’s bold, bubbly, and cozy all at once.

What I love most is how effortlessly it comes together. You only need a handful of ingredients, and you don’t need to be a mixologist to make it shine.

The apple slice and cinnamon stick garnish give it a festive flair without any extra work — perfect for when you want something special without the fuss.

Whether you’re hosting a full-blown Friendsgiving bash or just sipping something seasonal on a cool night, this drink checks all the boxes.
