Start by making the honey syrup. Combine the honey with hot water and stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Allow it to cool before preparing the cocktail.
Prepare the glasses by mixing a bit of cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Wet the rim of each glass with water, then dip the rim into the cinnamon sugar to coat. Set the glasses aside.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the apple juice, cinnamon schnapps, and the cooled honey syrup.
Shake the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass.
Top the glass with 3 oz of sparkling wine, and gently stir to combine the ingredients.
Garnish each glass with an apple slice for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sparkling Apple Pie Cocktail!
Notes
Pro Tips
Make the honey syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick preparation.
For a drier balance, choose a Brut sparkling wine; for sweeter notes, use Prosecco.
Use fresh-pressed apple juice for a more authentic apple pie character.
