Equipment
- A shaker is at the top of my list. It's great for mixing everything evenly.
- I also need a jigger to measure ingredients precisely.

Ingredients
Hereโs what I use to create this delightful cocktail.
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice

Crafting this drink is simple and fun, and it only takes a few steps.
- First, I fill my shaker with ice. Then, I pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, apple cider, and simple syrup.
- Next, I add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm twist. Shaking it well ensures everything mixes perfectly.

Notes
I find that fresh lemon juice makes a big difference in the taste. Bottled juice can work, but fresh is best. When choosing bourbon, I go with a smooth, high-quality spirit. It really enhances the cocktailโs flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different spices. A dash of nutmeg or cloves can add a nice twist. ๐ If I want a sweeter drink, I adjust the simple syrup to taste. Sharing this recipe with friends is always fun, and I love hearing their feedback. Let me know what you think in the comments! ๐น
