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. ๐Ÿฅƒ 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 homeโ€”just soak some cinnamon sticks in bourbon for a few days. For a sweeter drink, increase the amount of cinnamon syrup.
