APPLE CINNAMON OLD-FASHIONED
Created by Lisa Brazil, food and beverage manager at DEVIL'S THUMB RANCH RESORT'S RANCH HOUSE RESTAURANT & SALOON IN TABERNASH, COLORADO I SINCE 2021
"When growing up in the Rocky Mountains, hot cider was a staple for chilly nights and brought a comforting, warm sense of coziness and family. I wanted to create an adult version of this memory," says Lisa Brazil, whose "adult" ingredient of choice is Bourbon.
"Bourbon has such a unique sweetness with hints of vanilla, nutmeg, even caramel, which contrast and complement the sour of the apple." This drink is simple on the surface, but that means it leaves plenty of room for creativity. You can replace the apple cider with several slices of apple muddled in the glass. Or, you can skip the ice altogether and serve it warm by using hot cider.
UP YOUR GARNISH GAME
Brazil likes to freeze slices of apple in her ice cubes for serving this drink, and she suggests using a cinnamon stick as an aromatic stirrer.
2 teaspoons Cinnamon Simple Syrup (recipe below)

New Zealand's Success Story - From small beginnings, the country's wines have ascended to global prominence
Since then, New Zealand has become one of the world’s most successful wine nations. Currently there are 102,000 acres planted, and 40 million cases were sold in 2023, according to the New Zealand Winegrowers. The tiny country produces less than 2% of the global wine supply, but it’s the world’s sixth-largest exporter of wine by value. Another thing that’s evolved? The image of corks no longer applies, as most vintners there eschew cork (only about 15% of the wines we review still use the closure).
Wine Is Healthiest Choice for Drinkers - Decades of research has linked light to moderate drinking, especially of wine, to a range of health benefits.
There’s also strong evidence that alcohol consumption raises the risk of certain cancers and that heavy drinking carries serious health risks. But the reasons why moderate drinking seems to be neutral or beneficial for some people and harmful for others remains a mystery.A new study sought to solve that puzzle. Looking at health and lifestyle information for a large population, the researchers found that while any alcohol posed risks for adults with existing health problems from poorer areas, healthy adults from wealthier areas suffered no additional risks from moderate drinking, and those who drink wine with food even enjoyed better health.
