Michael Manjon, the Beverage Director of Time Out Market New York provides this sweet, tart, and balanced cocktail recipe. Its name is inspired by the place everyone wants to be during the holidays: in front of a crackling fireplace. Similarly, the bourbon-based cocktail warms the body with its strong flavor. It's easy to make with ingredients you most likely already have in your fridge and can be adapted into a tasty mocktail by simply omitting the bourbon.

INGREDIENTS

2oz Premium Bourbon
.75oz Cranberry Juice
.75oz Apple Cider
.5oz Cinnamon Syrup (recipe below)

Cinnamon Syrup:
1 cup water

Garnish with a dehydrated apple dusted with Pumpkin Pie spice and three fresh cranberries on a skewer.

Syrup Prep:
In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil and stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.
Reduce the heat and add the cinnamon sticks. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon sticks and stir in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the syrup to a bottle with a tight seal.
Store in the fridge. Will last up to two weeks.
