Instructions
- Rim Glass: Put 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar on a small plate and mix to combine. Grab a low ball cocktail glass and use your finger to spread a small amount of maple syrup around the rim. Flip the glass over and turn the rim in the cinnamon sugar mixture to create a cinnamon sugar rim around the top.

- Serve: Enjoy this cozy cocktail with any of your favorite garnish ingredients!
Notes
- Sweetness: highly recommend starting with 0.5oz of maple syrup, and then you can add more, if desired.
