Notes
I discovered a few tips that make this cocktail even better.
Using fresh lemon juice makes a big difference in flavor compared to store-bought. If Iβm making cinnamon syrup, it's easy: just simmer sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks.
Also, if I want a smokier taste, adding a dash of bitters adds depth. I always let friends and family try their versions, and we end up with a fun variety of cocktails! π
