Equipment

A cocktail shaker is useful for blending the ingredients.
I also recommend a muddler to crush any spices or fruits.

A jigger helps measure the bourbon accurately,
while strainer ensures a smooth pour.
Finally, don’t forget a stirrer spoon for mixing and rocks glass to serve the cocktail.

Ingredients

Gathering fresh ingredients ensures the best flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 oz bourbon
1 tsp cinnamon simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel for garnish
Cinnamon stick for garnish

Using real cinnamon simple syrup can make a big difference in taste. You can make it by simmering cinnamon sticks in sugar and water, or buy it from a store. Choose high-quality bourbon for the richest flavor.

Instructions

Creating this Cinnamon Bourbon Old Fashioned is easy! Follow me through the steps:

Muddle a cinnamon stick lightly in your shaker.
Add bourbon, cinnamon syrup, and bitters.
Use a stirrer to mix thoroughly.

Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.
Garnish with an orange peel and a fresh cinnamon stick.

That’s it! Your tasty cocktail is ready to enjoy. 🥃 Feel free to adjust the syrup to suit your taste.

Notes

I love adding a little twist to my cocktails.

If you want a stronger flavor, try using cinnamon-infused bourbon. It’s simple to do at home—just soak some cinnamon sticks in bourbon for a few days. For a sweeter drink, increase the amount of cinnamon syrup.
