1
Chill glass
Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill it with ice water while you assemble ingredients to chill.
2
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full).
3
Add applejack (or Calvados), fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker.
4
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds to combine and slightly dilute the spirit mixture.
5
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass and add fresh ice to fill the glass about two-thirds full.
6
Strain the shaken spirit mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice.
7
Slowly top with 8 oz Bold Rock Virginia Apple hard cider to preserve carbonation. Pour gently down the side of the glass or onto the back of a spoon.
8
Give the cocktail a gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to integrate the cider with the spirit layer without flattening too much carbonation.

9
Garnish with an apple slice on the rim and a cinnamon stick tucked into the glass if using.
10
Serve immediately while fizzy.
