In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apple whiskey, cinnamon sticks, star anise, allspice berries and orange peel. Bring to a simmer and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat, pour everything into a mason jar and seal tightly. Allow to cool completely.

To make the cocktail, add 1 1/2 oz of the infused apple whiskey to a glass and top with 10oz dry hard cider. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and small piece of orange peel.
