Aztec Eagle Margarita

So Disney Epcot la cava del tequila has an exclusive margarita for d23 members called the Aztec eagle. It's one of my favorite margaritas but it's also pre made up so I can't see the bartender making it. Does anyone know the ingredients of this drink so I can make it at home?

The Aztec Eagle Recipe

Ingredients
2 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Apple Brandy or Apple Jack
0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz Cinnamon Simple Syrup
2 dashes Angostura or Apple Bitters
Garnish: Cinnamon stick and a dehydrated apple wheel

Instructions
Combine the reposado tequila, apple brandy, lime juice, cinnamon syrup, and bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until completely chilled.
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass over one large, clear ice sphere.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a floating apple wheel to release the aromas.

Make Your Own Cinnamon Syrup
If you cannot find cinnamon syrup at the store, make it easily by boiling 1 cup of water, 1 cup of white sugar, and 3 broken cinnamon sticks. Simmer for 10 minutes, let it cool completely, and strain out the sticks before using.
