1. In a bowl, mix the coarse sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Rub an orange wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip the glass into the sugar mix.
2. Fill the glass with ice.
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila/mezcal, Aperol, orange liquor, lime juice, and apple cider. Add ice and shake to combine – strain into the sugar-rimmed glass. Garnish with apple slices, star anise, and a cinnamon stick. If desired, light the cinnamon stick on fire for a smoky effect. This smells really good!
To Make a Mocktail: omit the tequila, Aperol, and orange liquor. Use 2 additional tablespoons of apple cider or sparkling apple cider. Mix with 1 tablespoon of orange juice and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract.
