Notes

Tips
  • Build in the glass (don’t shake). Fill a rocks glass with ice → add whiskey + a pinch of ground cinnamon → gently top with sparkling apple cider; stir with the cinnamon stick.
  • Keep everything cold. Chill the cider and glass so the bubbles stay lively and you don’t over-dilute with melting ice.
  • Choose your cinnamon wisely. Korintje cinnamon reads warm and classic here; it's my top pick. You can use your favorite.
  • Use clear, larger ice. One or two big cubes melt slower than a handful of small ones, keeping flavor tight.
  • Batch smart for parties. Scale the whiskey and keep the cider separate and chilled; combine just before serving to preserve carbonation.
  • Make it yours. Prefer drier, spicier notes? Try a rye instead of bourbon; for softer vanilla-caramel, stick with bourbon!
  • Seasonal serve. This cocktail shines alongside pies and fall desserts—lean into the theme for easy hosting.
