"Five-Ingredient Fix"


Recipe Introduction


Makes 4 cocktails.


List of Ingredients




1 quart (4 cups) fresh apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole star anise, plus 4 more for garnish
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup good-quality bourbon
Optional: 4 pats butter










Recipe



Place the cider, cinnamon, and star anise in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half and has intensified in flavor, about 10 minutes.

Add the lemon juice and bourbon and stir until warmed through. If desired, place over low, low heat and cover partially to keep warm until needed.

Pour into warmed mugs or snifters and garnish with a cinnamon stick and star anise and, if desired, a pat of butter.
