This is a twist on a classic cocktail, the Sidecar. Cognac is replaced with a more rustic Armagnac, and Cointreau is replaced with Solerno blood orange liqueur. The resulting combination is tart and citrusy, yet balanced and rich, set off with a cinnamon-sugar rim.
Rim a chilled coupe or martini glass with cinnamon-sugar. Set aside.
In a mixing tin, combine the Armagnac, blood orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice.
Fill the tin with ice, shake well, and double-strain into the chilled cocktail glass.
Smack your sprig of thyme to release its oils and carefully place it into the glass.

This version of the Long Island Iced Tea is warmed up with a fall-flavored theme. Subbing barrel-aged gin, honey-infused vodka, and aged rum makes for a richer flavor profile. All of these flavors marry perfectly with sparkling cider. The result is a crisp, bright, cozy cocktail that is still deceptively on the strong side.
