Apple butter, ginger ale and fresh herbs are combined with small-batch bourbon whiskey to make this super-tasty sparkling whiskey cocktail. Perfect for fall, the smooth, caramel notes will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Sage and thyme are refreshing flavor additions to this seasonal libation, but take special care not to overdo it—a little bit goes a long way! You can also choose to mellow the potency of the whiskey by adding less hooch and more ginger ale.
