Ingredients
12 ounces apple cider
6 black peppercorns
2 pieces star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1 lime wedge plus 4 lime wheels, for garnish
4 ounces mezcal
2 ounces lime juice
2 ounces orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
2 large egg whites
Directions
- Chill 4 large rocks glasses.
- Bring the cider, peppercorns, star anise and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes, then allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain and allow to cool.
- Combine the sugar, allspice and ground cinnamon on a small plate. Use the lime wedge to moisten the rim of the glasses, then dip in the spiced sugar mixture.

Strain into the rimmed glasses. Garnish each with a lime wheel and a dusting of ground cinnamon. Repeat with the second batch.
