Apple Cider Bourbon Smash

I know how much Southerners love their bourbon. I thought this looked like the perfect November cocktail. 

Ingredients

• bourbon
• apple cider
• lemon

Directions

• Cut the lemon in half and then cut each half in quarters. You will end up with 8 wedges.
• Add the lemon to the shaker and muddle the wedges for at least 2 minutes. You want to extract as much of the fresh lemon juice and zest from the skins as you can. Look at it all! 
• Measure out 4 ounces of bourbon.
• Measure 5 ounces of apple cider.
• Add fresh ice to the glasses.
• Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker, cap it and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain, divide and pour the drink between the two glasses.
• Add a half slice of apple and one cinnamon stick to each glass.
