Turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Strain the mixture with a fine strainer, stir in 1 tsp. Vanilla extract, and store in the fridge.

Then, smoke a rocks glass with cinnamon by lighting a cinnamon stick on fire using a torch or gas burner on a stove. Blow out the flames and allow it to smolder. Place it on a plate and cover it with an upside-down rocks glass and let it sit for a minute or two so the glass can fill up with smoke.

Finally, add 3 oz. Angry Orchard Crisp Apple, 1.5 oz. Aged Rum and the Toasted Marshmallow Syrup over ice. Stir and top with a toasted marshmallow on a stick.
