To make the Spicy Cinnamon Syrup, in a medium pot, bring ½ cup water, the maple, cinnamon, and ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the cayenne. Let cool, then strain the syrup into a glass jar. This syrup makes enough for about 6 drinks.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1-2 tablespoons of the cinnamon syrup, bourbon, lemon/grapefruit juice, apple butter, and orange bitters. Add ice and shake. Strain into a glass. Top off with ginger beer. Garnish with apple slices, pomegranate arils, and cinnamon sticks. If desired, light the cinnamon stick on fire for a smoky effect.
To make a Mocktail: omit the bourbon and use ¼ cup apple cider with ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.
