For the holidays, I like to spice up my usual Old Fashioned. Rather than just whiskey, bitters, and sugar, I use a cinnamon-infused simple syrup to make this classic cocktail just a bit different.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon
1 ounce dark rum, Zacapa brand preferred
1 ounce bourbon, Elijah Craig brand preferred
2 dashes aromatic bitters
Ice cubes
1 Large ice cube, for serving
1 orange twist, for garnish
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks

Steps:

  • In a mixing glass, add the cinnamon bark syrup, rum, bourbon and bitters. Fill with ice cubes and mix by holding the spoon like a pen and stirring clockwise. To serve, place a large ice cube into a glass and strain. Run the orange twist around the rim, add to the cocktail and serve.
  • In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Break up the cinnamon bark (sticks), add to the simple syrup mixture, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cool, and strain.
