Many thanks, Georgette. I've added the original recipe from Regarding Cocktails above. We Brits can be confused by the US use of cider and hard cider. I corrected the recipe (allowing for the use of richer 2:1 syrup).
Cinnamon Apple Jack by GB: Add 1/2 fl oz of Cannella, which is a cinnamon cordial from Reno, Nevada. Complex, warm baked apple flavor, perfect by the fire on a winter’s evening after shoveling snow.
Looking for inspiration for an apple juice cocktail other than a Tatanka (or just straight bison-grass vodka and AJ), delicious as they are I came across this. Don't have Applejacks but do have Calvados (Avallen) - Apple Jacques, perhaps!
Well of course I had to try it with 50ml, and yes it was better. Now, I have a surfeit of lemon juice! Luckily, I have the day off work tomorrow, so what next...
After spending the afternoon crushing and pressing a whole lot of apples, this was just the thing. I used Laird’s 86 proof straight applejack with the fresh cider, but it was a little one dimensional. Substituting a lightly flavored cinnamon syrup I had did the trick to compliment the apple. Yum.
