What I love about this recipe:

Apple Cider Bourbon Slushies are easy, prep ahead and perfect for all fall gatherings.
It’s a taste of fall – wherever you are!
Can be doubled – or tripled – for a crowd.
It’s absolutely delicious!

Tips and substitutions:

There are only a few ingredients so use good quality bourbon and fresh apple cider.
If there’s no time to freeze the cubes, combine the ingredients and serve chilled instead.
My ice cube tray makes large cubes. Any size will work – as long as you freeze 2 1/4 cups.
I used my Ninja Personal Blender, but a full size blender can be used as well.
Freeze apple cider cubes up to one week ahead of time.
How much bourbon you add is up to you – add or reduce to your own taste.
