Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sugar

Directions
-
Mix together sugar and cinnamon and spread on a small plate. In a large pitcher, combine red wine, orange beverage, and Bourbon. Rub an orange wedge around rims of eight rocks glasses, then dip glasses in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Fill with ice, add cocktail mixture, and serve with orange slices.
I'll tell you what! This is a fabulous recipe for a great fall/winter cocktail. Easy to make and very inexpensive. It's nice because it can be made by the pitcher so that you don't have to spend all your time in the kitchen and you can have more time with your guests. Mixture of sugar and cinnamon is just right to rim the glasses.
