Vodka, Aperol and a kiss of cinnamon spice is all you need to craft this cocktail.

1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 oz. Aperol
Dash cinnamon tincture
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: coupe

Combine all ingredients, shake with ice cubes and strain into a chilled glass.

Cinnamon Tincture: Combine 2 whole cinnamon sticks with 1 cup of high-proof vodka and let steep for 1 week. Strain and dilute with 1 cup of water. Will keep indefinitely.
