Cocktail

2 oz Cinnamon whisky (e.g., Fireball)3 oz Apple cider (fresh, unfiltered preferred)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/4 oz Honey syrup (1:1 honey to hot water)2 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish & finish

1 each Cinnamon stick1 each Thin apple slice (for float or wedge)1 to taste Ice (large cube or plenty of small ice)

Method

Cocktail

Make honey syrup (if not prepared)

Combine equal parts honey and hot water (for this recipe 1/4 oz honey and 1/4 oz hot water). Stir until honey is fully dissolved. Let cool briefly.

Build and mix

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz cinnamon whisky, 3 oz apple cider, 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, 1/4 oz honey syrup and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Secure the shaker lid.

Shake

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the liquid is well mixed and slightly frothy from the lemon and syrup.

Strain and serve

Place a large ice cube or fill a rocks glass with fresh ice. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass (use a Hawthorne and fine mesh if available) to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish & finish

Garnish with a single cinnamon stick laid across the rim and float or rest a thin apple slice on the drink. Optionally, express a lemon peel over the cocktail and drop it in for extra aroma.

Serve immediately while cold. Sip carefully — the cinnamon whisky gives a warming, spicy finish.
