Pour a thin layer of salt onto a small plate. Lightly moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with simple syrup or a lime wedge, then dip the rim into the salt to coat.
Fill the prepared glass about three-quarters full with ice.
Add the apple cider, pear juice, tequila, and orange liqueur to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and serve immediately.
