Here's how in just a couple of easy steps:

• Give your glass a tasty cinnamon sugar rim by wetting the rim of your glasses and dipping them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Now pour the apple cider and bourbon into the glass and top it with sparkling wine. To finish it off, garnish it with an apple slice. Cheers!
