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.
