A Cocktail for Fall

Whether you're hosting a pumpkin carving, costume, or apple picking party this fall a seasonal house cocktail is in order. For my pumpkin carving party I'm going back to an old favorite, my version of the Stone Fence:

A "Punch" Version
2 parts Laird's Applejack
1 part good bourbon
6 parts apple cider (the real stuff)
Juice of 1/2 a lemmon
2 dashes bitters

A "Cocktail" Version
2 parts Laird's Applejack
1 part good bourbon
2 dashes bitters
Hard Cider as preferred
Garnish with lemon twist

If you're feeling particularly ambitous go pick your own apples and make the cider using your juicer or, at some orchards, they'll make it for you.
