Now onto the recipe! It’s fall and that means we are allllll about fall flavors up in here. This cocktail is perfect when paired with apple cider…there is honestly nothing like it!
Quick Notes
Apple Cider: I recommend using apple cider but you can totally use apple juice. I’ve used both.
Whisky: I’m using a good old fashion canadian whisky. Nothing fancy about it.
Simple Syrup: Make this with equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves and let cool.
Cinnamon & Sugar: This combination definitely adds to the drink so please don’t skip it. You’ll thank me later!
Notes
Apple Juice can be used in place of apple cider if need be.
