Ingredients

• 4 oz vodka
• 1 oz cinnamon apple cider simple syrup
• lemon (optional)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• lemon zest (optional)
• pinch cayenne (optional)
• pinch salt (optional)

Directions

• Put sugar, cinnamon and apple cider in a saucepot
• Bring to a boil
• Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool
• Once your syrup has cooled (it can be used in the cocktial while warm-ish but not hot):
• Chill your martini glass, fill with ice and water and let sit while you mix the martini
• In a shaker filled with ice, add vodka and syrup
• Shake well
• When you think you are done shaking, shake for another 30 seconds
• You want this drink cold and with little ice chips if you can get them
• Pour into your empty, chilled martini glass and serve with a wedge of lemon
• Garnish ideas: lemon wedge, lemon peel, curly apple peel
• Mix the above ingredients and pour onto a plate so there is a thin layer of the sugar mixture covering the plate (not a mound)
• Wipe the rim of your glass with a lemon wedge (be messy so more of the sugar mixture will stick to it) and place the glass into the sugar mixture to coat the rim
• **If you are going rim the martini glass with the sugar mixture, do not chill the glass first, the water from the glass will ruin it.
