With just 4 ingredients, this Cinnamon Apple Bourbon Smash will put you in the mood for a Detroit winter with its calm warming flavors.

We love a good honeycrisp apple. Something about them is exceptionally refreshing and crisp, so they are the ideal variety for this cocktail. They have just the right amount of sweetness and a touch of maple syrup really makes this cocktail have an extra infusion of flavor. Paired with a bite of citrus, smooth bourbon and a touch of ground cinnamon, it’s refreshing and elegant.
