Categories: Cocktail

Ingredients

  • Cinnamon-Flavored Vodka:
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 (375 ml) bottle vodka
  • Cinnamon-Sugar Rim:
  • apple cider
  • cinnamon sugar
  • Drink (6 ounces cinnamon vodka plus)
  • 1 cup apple cider

Directions

  1. Make the Cinnamon-Flavored vodka: place 2 cinnamon sticks inside the bottle of vodka-you may need to pour out a small amount of the vodka to make room for the cinnamon sticks; seal tightly and let stand at room temperature for about 2 weeks, depending on the desired level of flavor.

  2. Shake the bottle every few days; remove the cinnamon sticks and use.

  3. Rim the glass: dip the edges of 4 martini glasses in apple cider and rim them with cinnamon sugar.

  4. Make the drink: In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup cider and 6 oz. vodka; heat over medium to medium-high heat until warm but not hot.

  5. Pour into rimmed martini glasses and serve.
