Notes

Pro Tips
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less apple cider to taste.
  • For a smokier flavor, lightly char the cinnamon stick garnish before adding it to the drink.
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer before prepping to keep your drink colder for longer.
