Delicious Bourbon Cider

FEATURED DRINKS! BY SOUTH SEAS ISLAND RESORT BARTENDER CHRISTIAN BERETTA

WE LOVE ROSEMARY THIS FALL!

Nothing says fall like apples and fresh herbs. Since November is prime apple season and well, we LOVE cider, I figured it would be neat to combine a few other things that we enjoy! 1. Bring the Bourbon. We are a huge fans of a good bourbon. It is often our post dinner sipper-especially if we are at our favorite bar. 2. I love rosemary! If I had to only have one herb for the rest of my life- this would be it. I can't get enough of it when I'm cooking. So I figured why not throw it in a drink

RECIPE: 4 Oz Apple Cider (we used Tall, Dark & Handsome) -2 Oz Bourbon -2 Tablespoons Cinnamon -1 Tablespoon Sugar -Orange Slice -Rosemary Sprig

HOW TO MAKE IT AT HOME:

ROSEMARY GINGER MOJITO This modern take on the Cuban National Cocktail adds Ginger and Rosemary to the classic minty mix, a fragrant and flavorful, pairs perfectly with the vanilla tones of the rum. To release more flavor from the rosemary sprig, lightly bruise it before slipping it into the glass.

INGREDIENTS 2 OZ Crystallized Ginger 3 Muddle Lime Wedges Fresh Mint Leaves 2 OZ White Rum 1 OZ Fresh Lime Juice 1/2 OZ Rosemary Ginger – Simple Syrup 1 OZ Club Soda 1 Fresh Mint Sprig 1 Fresh Rosemary Sprig

1. Start by combining the cinnamon and sugar together on a plate- we will use this to rim the glass. 2. Run the orange wedge around the edge of your low ball cocktail glass. Set the rim of the glass in the cinnamon and sugar and fill the glass with ice. 3. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the cider and bourbon and stir to combine. Strain into your ice filled glass. 4. Garnish glass with the orange slice and rosemary sprig.

PRO TIP Try roasting your rosemary first! This will bring out a more intense flavour.

Favorite Moments from our guests

DAVID T. " The hotel is nice & clean, beautiful room but the shower needs improvement. The girls enjoyed taking photos while the sun was setting. It was a great idea to get teenagers off their phone. We will definitely be back to Captiva again."

PHILIP V. “ Sharing the beautiful Gulf views from our Lands End condos with our family member guests. Visit 27 was as enjoyable as our first visit circa 1990. 3 generations of the Vogelgesang family, guests since 1990, featuring papa aged 98 and grand children aged 29. Photographer dad is aged 68."

DALE H. “ We enjoyed the easy access to the beach including the chairs! After dinner at Harbourside watching the manatees play at the dock!"

BRIAN A. "Look Daddy, I can see the end's in sight for the pandemic! :)"

VICTOR C. “ So many things to do at South Seas. Once you get past the guard gate you don’t ever have to leave. When you find someone your age wearing the same hat at South Seas and you instantly become friends. I can see both families getting together at South Seas every year."

CADE R. “ The property was beautiful and the beach set up was second to none! We had a blast riding around on our golf cart that we rented. The pool was also very nice, with ample seating.”
