Who else is excited that fall is here?! Let the apple cider and pumpkin spice madness begin! Something comes over bloggers in the fall, and we all go a little craft crazy. But you know what, stores aren’t even selling pumpkins yet. And to be totally honest, this gave me major anxiety the other night. How am I supposed to decorate a pumpkin when they aren’t even out yet? I can’t craft without pumpkins! Where are the darn pumpkins?!?
Fortunately I talked myself down from the pumpkin panic attack and mixed up one of these drinks.
Bourbon Ginger Cider Recipe
In a glass full of ice ad 1/4 cup ginger beer, 1/4 cup apple cider and 1/8 cup bourbon and give it all a stir. Don’t bother with a shaker – you’ll just have to wash it.
Are you just as excited for fall? Have one of these to tide you over till pumpkin season.

I heard this was yummy :) Love your posts on alcoholic beverages sis :)
Ha! They are some of my fave posts too – definitely fun to “test” :)
Aghhhh, I need this…NOW! I am having pumpkin fanatic attacks. I just want to buy a whole bunch of mini gourds and decorate my whole darn house. Like now! My birthday is September 29th, so technically I am a pumpkin baby too. Right?
You’re totally a pumpkin baby! Fall birthdays are the best, aren’t they?
Bourbon cider?! Sign me up!
Honest to goodness, this is the best drink I’ve had in AGES. I may or may not have had a bit too much of it… :)
Wishing I had a glass of this right now

I could still wait a while for fall. :) I feel like I haven’t eaten enough summer fruits and veggies yet! Ginger beer makes me obscenely happy though, so maybe I’ll sip on one of these while eating corn pizza.
I am so ready for fall!! Maybe because my birthday is in October – might have something to do with it :) Ginger beer with bourbon made an obscenely awesome combination!
This sounds delicious. I’ve do the bourbon and apple cider combo pretty regularly in the fall, but I’ve never thought to add ginger. Yum!

My birthday is in October too – definitely the best month for sure! And I hadn’t heard about a pumpkin shortage – say it isn’t so!!
