Equipment

  • jigger
  • bar spoon
  • highball glass or rocks glass
  • Hawthorne strainer (optional)
  • cocktail shaker (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4 oz apple cider
  • ice
  • cinnamon stick or apple slice (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Go ahead and gather up all of your necessary ingredients and supplies.
    Note: for this drink, you can mix it in a cocktail shaker or directly in your glass. Glass mixing instructions are in the step by step details below.
    To use a cocktail shaker:
    Fill the shaker up with ice.
    Measure out your ingredients and toss them in the shaker.
    Cover the shaker and then shake it well.
    Put the hawthorne strainer on top of the shaker and pour your drink into your glass.
  • Get your glass and fill it almost to the top with ice.
    Note: a rocks glass or a highball glass can work for this drink.
  • Get your vodka and jigger. Measure 2 oz of vodka with your jigger, then pour the vodka into your glass.
  • Get your apple cider and jigger. Measure 4 oz of apple cider with your jigger, then pour the apple cider into your glass.
    Note: due to the light flavor of the apple cider, this 2:1 ratio leaves a pretty strong vodka flavor in the drink. If you want to temper that, add only 1.5 oz of vodka, or add a little more apple cider
  • Get your bar spoon and mix your drink together well.
  • If you want to add a garnish, take a cinnamon stick and add it to your glass.
