Instructions

1. Pour apple cider and cognac into a Collins glass filled with ice.
2. Light a match, let it burn 2 seconds to get rid of excess sulfur, and hold it 3" over cocktail and 1" away from peel; the outside of the peel should face down, over the drink. Squeeze peel to release oils into drink.
3. Rub flamed peel around rim of glass, then place peel in glass.
