Begin by dipping the rim of your glass first into the OJ and then into a bit of the cinnamon/sugar mix. Do not twist the glass as you dip. Simply dip in straight in and lift it straight out for a perfect cinnamon and sugar rim.
Pour bourbon and sugar/cinnamon mix into the glass; carefully stir till the sugar melts into the bourbon.
Add ice to the glass; top with the James Creek Stargazer Shooting Star cider.
Garnish with slices of apple and a cinnamon stick to finish. Cheers!
