In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add gin, juice, and syrup. Shake to chill and strain into a glass over fresh ice. Top with club soda, and garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon stick. Enjoy!

Reduced apple cider syrup brings orchard-fresh depth to this gin-based Collins. A seasonal refresher that bridges the gap between warm afternoons and crisp evenings.
