Fall From the Tree
Bourbon, fresh apple juice, cinnamon syrup, lemon, and a dash of aromatic bitters. An autumn drink that goes sweet fast, so pour the bourbon heavy and the syrup light.
Method
Add the bourbon, apple juice, cinnamon syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker with ice.
Shake until cold and strain into a glass.
Notes from the line
As written it runs sweet. A heavier bourbon pour and a lighter hand with the cinnamon syrup fix it.
Fresh, cloudy apple juice matters. The clear shelf-stable kind just adds sugar.
