1
Build the base
Fill a highball or pint glass about three-quarters full with ice (about 1 cup).
2
Add spirits and modifiers
Pour 1.5 fl oz Fireball Cinnamon Whisky over the ice, then add 0.5 fl oz fresh lemon juice and 0.25 fl oz simple syrup. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Top with cider
Slowly pour 12 fl oz Angry Orchard hard cider into the glass to top. Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the whisky and mixers without flattening the cider's carbonation.
4
Adjust sweetness and cinnamon
Taste briefly. If you prefer sweeter, add another 0.25 fl oz simple syrup; for more cinnamon heat, add an extra 0.25 fl oz Fireball.

5
Garnish the rim or float an apple slice on top and optionally drop in a cinnamon stick for aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
