Start by preparing your glass. Pour a small amount of maple syrup onto a shallow plate. On a separate plate, combine cinnamon and sugar.
Dip the rim of an Irish coffee mug or highball glass into the maple syrup, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating the rim evenly.
Fill the mug halfway with crushed ice and set it aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the apple cider, bourbon whiskey, pumpkin puree, simple syrup, and pumpkin spice.
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the crushed ice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grown Up Pumpkin Juice Cocktail!
