We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, good food, and some relaxation! The weather is getting chilly here in the bay area, and we at Viridian Bay are enjoying some cozy evenings underneath blankets, with the heat turned up. We love a good seasonal cocktail, and this hot apple cider with bourbon is the perfect warm fall drink this season. It's incredibly easy to make, and it tastes like fall in a cup, so it's sure to help you enjoy the last bit of fall before we start having holiday carolers show up at our doors. Sip this hot drink by the fire with loved ones, and you'll have yourselves a cozy fall night.
