You might also consider a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added visual appeal and flavor.

SERVING_SUGGESTIONS

Is there a specific type of highball glass recommended for serving the Apple Turnover cocktail?

While any highball glass will suffice, using a clear, straight-sided highball glass is recommended for serving the Apple Turnover cocktail. This not only showcases the drink's color and ingredients but also provides the right volume and space for the drink to be properly mixed and garnished.

SEASONAL_TIME_RECOMMENDATIONS

What season is the Apple Turnover cocktail most suited for?

Given its use of cider, bourbon, and warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, the Apple Turnover cocktail is most suited for the autumn season. These ingredients evoke the comfort and warmth associated with fall, making it an ideal choice for chilly evenings or seasonal gatherings.

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

Can you substitute the bourbon in the Apple Turnover cocktail with another type of alcohol?
