I was recently at a party in Vermont where we pressed apple cider, so I was casting about for cocktail-with-cider ideas, and found this one from liquor.com: the Autumn Apple. It’s very approachable and refreshing, though I downed the honey and upped the bitters to make it a little more complex (in my opinion). It got good reviews from my family; I got asked for seconds!

• 2 ounces Bluecoat American dry gin
• 2 ounces apple cider
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 ounce honey syrup
• 1 dash aromatic bitters
• 1 pinch cinnamon

Shake with ice, strain into a glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
