  • 2 parts whiskey see notes
  • 1 part part cinnamon simple syrup
  • 1 part part apple cider
  • splash lemon juice
  • 3 slices of apple
  • 6 mint leaves

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Apple Cinnamon Whiskey Smash

  • In a shaker, smash together apple slices and mint with a muddler. (Adding a cube of ice will help break apart ingredients.)
  • Add Whistle Pig 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey, cinnamon simple syrup, cider and lemon to shaker.  Fill the shaker ¾ of the way with ice.
  • Shake vigorously for 8 to 10 seconds.  Strain into a high ball glass with crushed ice.
  • Garnish with cinnamon stick and mint leaf.

Cinnamon Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, water, cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce to low and simmer 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and let steep with cinnamon sticks 10 minutes.

Notes

Preparing One Cocktail Versus Batching:

  • Parts are equivalent to ounces.
  • For one cocktail, add 2 ounces of whiskey, 1 ounce of cinnamon simple syrup, and 1 ounce of fresh apple cider.
  • For batches, multiple parts x the number of drinks you want.  For example, a batch of 4 drinks will be 8 ounces of whiskey, 4 ounces of cider, and 4 ounces of cinnamon simple syrup.
