1
Build and stir
Fill a mixing glass or shaker with ice. Add bourbon (1.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz), maple syrup (0.25 oz), and ginger liqueur if using (0.25 oz). Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir briskly for about 15–20 seconds to chill and lightly dilute (if using a shaker, you may shake briefly and then strain).
2
Add cider
Strain the chilled bourbon mixture into a rocks glass or highball filled with fresh ice. Top gently with 8 oz (about 1 cup) of Bold Rock Virginia Apple hard cider. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the cider's carbonation.

3
Garnish with a thin apple slice floated on top and a cinnamon stick for aroma. Serve immediately. Optionally, run the cinnamon stick around the glass rim before placing it in the drink for extra spice.
