Cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

4 ounces dry gin
4 ounces apple cider
1 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 ½ ounce maple syrup or you can use honey
1 ounce of soda water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Garnish: apple slices and/or lemon twist

Instructions

Fill a shaker (or a pitcher) with ice. Add in the gin, apple cider, freshly squeezed lemon juice, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
Shake or stir vigorously until chilled, about 10 seconds (more or less).
Pour the drink over a strainer into two cocktail glasses filled with ice.
Top off each glass with a ½ an ounce of soda (or a little bit more…it shouldn’t be watered down with soda, so use to your taste).
Garnish with apple or lemon slices. Garnish with apple slices or lemon slices.
Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

Adjust to taste: more gin for a stronger drink, less for something lighter. Add extra cinnamon if you love the flavor.
For a mocktail, omit the gin and add extra apple cider or a splash of sparkling cider, stirring gently instead of shaking.
Large batch: Double or triple the recipe and serve from a pitcher or punch bowl for a crowd.
