I followed the original recipe, and it's not good. It's bland and lifeless. I had to add Phantom Distilling Company Spirited Apple Orchard to keep from pouring it n the sink.

This was a easy drinking and very pleasant cocktail. I swapped 1/3 of the JD for JD Honey. I forgot the cinnamon🤦🏼‍♀️. I'd also like to try it with a dusting of cardamom powder.

I made it with maple syrup instead of sugar and added the cinnamon into the shaker with rest of the ingredients.
Wonderful, autumnal drink, reminiscent of an apple-cinnamon cookie.

Agreed. Maple syrup or demerara is the way to go.

I've opted for a bit of ruby port topping the cream, as I've seen in I think several other sours, but I might be mistaken; i.e., I like it, but it is at your own risk to use it instead of the topping of cinnamon powder
