Apple Butter Old Fashioned Cocktail

This year I made a fair amount of apple butter in my Instant Pot. It is so delicious! I used some of it to make this Apple Butter Old Fashioned Cocktail. You can use any apple butter that you like, it will be amazing!

Paul and I tried a new restaurant in our town the other night. I ordered the Apple Butter Old Fashioned Cocktail, and loved it. It was boozy, kind of spicy, and just a touch fruity. I knew I had to make my own version of this delicious drink to enjoy at home!

Mine is a little different from what I had at the restaurant as I used my own apple butter, and my favorite bourbon.

This version of an Old Fashioned cocktail contains 2 oz of bourbon, as opposed to 1.5 oz in the traditional drink. The flavors in the bourbon shine through the warm spices of the apple butter. I really like the stronger flavor.

Of course, you can try it first with only 1.5 oz of bourbon if you are worried about it being too strong, and add the extra .5 oz if you want to!

    I made these for the wife and I last night. We had some store bought apple butter sitting in the fridge. We both liked them and will add these to our list of favorite cocktails.
