Prepare your glass: Start by filling a glass with crushed ice. The crushed ice gives the cocktail a frosty look, adding to the spooky vibe.

Add whiskey: Pour 2 ounces of your favorite whiskey over the ice. Bourbon or rye works well here, but feel free to experiment with different types if you prefer.

Pour in the hard apple cider: Slowly pour 4 ounces of hard apple cider into the glass. The apple cider adds a crisp, refreshing flavor that pairs perfectly with the whiskey.

Top it off with ginger beer: Add 1 ounce of ginger beer to give the cocktail a little fizz and a spicy kick. Ginger beer adds depth to the flavor and balances out the sweetness of the cider.

Garnish and serve: If you're feeling extra festive, garnish the drink with a thin apple slice or a cinnamon stick. Not only does it look great, but it also adds a subtle aroma and flavor to the drink.
