Prepare the Glasses: Rim each glass with maple syrup, then dip the rims into the @psseasonings Good Fella spice blend. Fill the glasses with ice.

Garnish and Serve: Squeeze a bit of lime juice into each drink for an extra zing. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, a slice of lime, and cherries. Serve immediately and enjoy this grilled twist on a classic mule.
