A tasty apple and cognac sour with delicate herbal and cinnamon spice

I served a variation of this before Thanksgiving dinner today. I used a mixture of bourbon and applejack, but in roughly the same proportions. I made the drink in advance and put cinnamon sticks in place of the cinnamon syrup. Guests really enjoyed it, as did I.
