Otono en Jalisco Cocktail

Got the winter blues? Our friends over at Mike's Hot Honey recently visited Parker & Quinn and enjoyed this sizzling cocktail made with their honey and our cider. It might be just what the doctor ordered! It's a versatile cocktail in that it can be enjoyed at all temps: chilled, room temp, or hot. So feel free to enjoy throughout the seasons. Thanks to Mike's Hot Honey and Parker & Quinn for sharing this recipe & their beautiful photo with us!

In a small shaker tin, add all ingredients, add ice, and shake. Roll into a rocks or double old fashioned glass. Garnish with a grilled lemon and cinnamon stick.
