I bet you could make a fall riff on a Mai Tai with the acid adjusted apple cider. Swap out the orange curacao for apple brandy or allspice dram and maybe cinnamon syrup for the rich simple syrup. I guess I know what I'll be trying this weekend
Both sound fantastic. Having several orchard within a few minutes drive getting local pressed apple juice is quick and delicious. Will be trying these very soon.
Derek your channel is awesome. Been watching your videos for a little over a year and now have over 20 bottles of rum lol. I used the honeycrisp cider from Trader Joe’s for the syrup. Came out perfect. I was thinking of making a apple cider daiquiri with it. I usually go 2 oz, 3/4 oz, 3/4 oz. Think for this I should dial back the simple syrup a to 1/2 oz maybe less with the cider syrup having a bit sweetness? 🤙🏼
Thanks, Mark! Hard to say about the right proportion when replacing syrup in some thing as simple as a Daiquiri because the acidity of your new syrup has to be taken into account. I'd guess you could potentially not use a simple syrup at all and just use the apple cider syrup + rum. I think the only way to figure it out is to test it. I never brix tested it but assume the apple cider syrup is sweeter than a 1:1 syrup
Definitely making these! How did you up the intensity on your cinnamon syrup? I generally let mine sit overnight before straining out the cinnamon sticks, but curious what you did.
I broke up the Cassia cinnamon in smaller pieces and used about 50% more than I normally would have, after simmering I let it sit for 6 ish hours. The cassia cinnamon + extra amount used extremely intesified the syrup, and cassia is more intense than other cinnamons. It was borderline too much and I'll probably dilute it with more 2:1 simple
I don’t have a video and even my recipe was even riffing off the Tropical Standard. But if it’s too intense you can cut it with a plain simple or 2:1 simple, which I plan on doing to mine.

Fog cutter with Apple brandy and some change up in modifiers would be awesome!
These are amazing, just in time for FriendsGiving. Thank you for all you do!!
These do look really good.

It’s already in the works!
what will be the 'Thanksgiving' drink at Sheryl's this year? Don't forget my invite.
I've been looking for exactly this! Apple cider cocktails! Thanks!

Not much of a "fall" here in Florida, but this makes me want to try some apple cocktails. Might be a perfect Thanksgiving cocktail.
I encourage you to check out some AppleJack cocktails. I love an Autumn In Jersey and of course the Jack Rose. Both are perfect for this time of year.
There will def be at least 1 cocktail with Apple jack coming up!
Can’t find old brigand anywhere since the rumcast came out and it won in some Foursquare blind taste tests
I assume it's exclusively sold at Total Wine like Doorly's, but not positive. Good luck!

@@makeanddrink Thanks so much for the response! You are making some of the best cocktail content out there, appreciate you!
Thank you!
everyone is sick rn in cali.
Trader Joe also has good pineapple juice keep refrigerated in cartons.
I made cinnamon syrup last night but it was far from intense. Do you have a video for this by chance?
