Instructions

Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz cinnamon-infused bourbon, 3 oz apple juice, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz honey syrup.
Step 2: Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold and frosty. Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Step 3: Top with 2 oz club soda and gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine without losing fizz.
Step 4: Lightly dust the surface with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
Step 5: Garnish by placing a thin apple slice vertically against the inside of the glass and express a lemon twist over the surface, resting it on the rim.
