Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
If desired, rim the glass with a light dusting of ground cinnamon. To do this, moisten the rim of a rocks or coupe glass with a lemon wedge, dip it into a shallow plate with a thin layer of ground cinnamon, then set the glass aside.
Build and chill
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 2 oz Smirnoff Vanilla vodka, 1 oz Fireball Cinnamon whisky, 3 oz apple juice, 0.5 tsp simple syrup, and 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice. The small amount of lemon brightens the apple and balances sweetness.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and the ingredients are well combined and slightly diluted.
Strain and serve
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice if serving over ice (optional). Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass using a fine strainer or the shaker's strainer to remove small ice shards.
Garnish
Float or place a thin apple slice on the rim or surface of the cocktail. If you rimmed the glass with cinnamon, be careful not to press the apple slice through the rim. Optionally, dust a very small pinch (about 1/8 tsp) of ground cinnamon over the top for extra aroma.
