Celebrate the flavors of autumn with this non-alcoholic Old Fashioned. Tart Gravenstein apples are infused with The Spirit of Bourbon, cardamom, and cinnamon to create a warm, spiced base, finished with a touch of maple syrup and aromatic bitters. If Gravensteins aren’t available, Honeycrisps or Jonagolds make excellent substitutes.
