Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill an old-fashioned or rocks glass by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you mix the drink (about 2–3 minutes).
Mix base
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Crown Royal Apple, 1 oz fresh apple cider, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz maple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice (about 4–6 large cubes).
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker feels cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled.
Strain & assemble
Discard the ice from the chilled serving glass. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over fresh ice (1 cup or a large ice sphere).
Top & garnish
Top with about 2 oz ginger beer (adjust to taste) and gently stir once to combine. Garnish with an apple slice on the rim and a cinnamon stick for aroma if desired.
Serve
Serve immediately. Optionally, express an orange peel over the drink for added citrus oils before discarding or adding as a second garnish.
