Updated the recipe and published in the Community Section as "Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree". Split base of BiB and aged Apple Brandy with an extra hot homemade cinnamon syrup.

I used Laird's Bottled in Bond Straight Apple Brandy 50%, Raw Unfiltered Cold Pressed Apple Cider, Shaker&Spoon Cinnamon Demerara Syrup and The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters.
A delicious autumnal cocktail evoking trips to the cider mill on a clear brisk day. Mills have started to produce cider here in MI for the past few weeks, so it’s a great time to source some fresh, unadulterated cider.

Freshly poured you get the slightly sweet cider and a a hint of cinnamon spice nicely balancing the lemon brightness. After a few sips, as it warms, the apple brandy starts to make its presence known. Finishes tart and apple-y with some warm cinnamon top notes.

I used Phantoom Distillery's Spirited Apple Orchard, Alpine sugar-free apple cider mix, and DaVinci cinnamon syrup--it turned out HOLY SMOKES good!! Tartness on the back end, the perfect light cinnamon note, and apple flavor that knocks your socks off! One of the best cocktails I've had in recent memory. It's definitely a keeper!

I used Avallen Calvados, Simply Apple juice, & Monin Cinnamon syrup and it turned out perfectly. Not overly sweet. Apple flavors, strong cinnamon, and a nice tart/dryness on the back-end.

Prefer with pear juice. More balanced acidity.

A very nice, fall season cocktail. The apple flavor is very prominent throughout, then switches to a slight sweetness and finishes with a slight dryness. One of my favorite fall cocktails so far.

Made with Busnel VSOP and switched cinnamon syrup for caramel syrup, but also added a 1/2 barspoon of my homemade cinnamon spice bourbon (it's heavily spiced). Also switched the aromatic bitters for spiced apple bitters from Dashfire. All in all a very pleasant drink for an October night.
