Katie's Notes
This seasonal highball is all about balance—the tartness of the shrub plays beautifully against the clean, bright profile of Volcán Cristalino. The cinnamon syrup adds warmth, while the combination of Angostura and apple bitters brings depth and complexity. If you can't find cranberry/apple shrub, you can make your own by combining equal parts apple cider vinegar, cranberry juice, and sugar, then letting it sit for 24 hours. The garnish is spectacular—the aromatics from the fresh-shaved nutmeg and cinnamon elevate the entire experience.
