Ingredients
  

  • 1½ oz Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
  • ½ oz Apple Liqueur - I used Classica Green Apple Liqueur
  • 2 oz Apple Cider or Pressed Apple Juice
  • 1 oz Orange Juice
  • 3/4 to 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 barspoon Orange Zest
  • ½ barspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • La Croix Lemon Sparkling Water - for topping off
  • 1 tsp Turbinado Cane Sugar - such as Sugar In The Raw
  • 1 tsp Gold Sanding Sugar
  • 1 tsp Red or Orange Sanding Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Create a cocktail rim and combine 1 tsp Turbinado cane sugar with 1 tsp gold sanding sugar and 1 tsp red sanding sugar. Mix these together in a small bowl and pour out onto a flat surface.
  • Swipe your cocktail glasses generously with a fresh lemon wedge and dip them into our festive fall colored cocktail rim. Set aside.
  • Grab a mixing glass and splash in Fireball cinnamon whiskey and a little green apple liqueur. In the same cocktail shaker, add in splashes of orange juice and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
  • Now add in the apple cider along with a bar spoon full of orange zest. Lastly, measure out half a bar spoon of ground cinnamon and sprinkle it in.
  • Fill your cocktail shaker about three-quarters of the way with ice. Cover and shake well. Shake vigorously until all the contents are completely cold and chilled all the way through.
  • Strain over fresh ice in a tall glass or mug. Top this off with a splash of sparkling water or sparkling mineral water. Garnish with fresh apple slices and a cinnamon stick.
