Apple Bourbon Milk Punch
Apple Bourbon Milk Punch is a smooth, velvety cocktail made with bourbon, apple cider, freshly squeezed lemon juice, maple syrup, a hint of cinnamon, and milk. The milk curdles slightly during the process, clarifying the drink and giving it a silky finish. I love to pour it over crushed ice for a refreshing yet indulgent sipper—ideal for holiday gatherings or a cozy night in!

Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups (10 ounces) bourbon
- ¾ cup (6 ounces / 186 g) apple cider
- ½ cup (4 ounces / 122 g) lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 4 large lemons)
- ⅓ cup (105 g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup (163 g) whole milk
- crushed ice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the bourbon, apple cider, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Whisk until fully combined.
- In a separate large bowl, pour in the whole milk. Slowly pour the bourbon-apple cider mixture into the milk while stirring gently.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
- After chilling, pour the mixture through a coffee filter set over a clean bowl or pitcher to strain out any solids. (This will take about an hour.) Discard the milk solids left behind.
- Fill a lowball glass with crushed ice. Pour the strained mixture over the ice, and serve immediately. Cheers!
