Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Cocktail glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Citrus juicer
  • Small plate

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon or cinnamon whisky
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz honey syrup or cinnamon syrup
  • 1 egg white optional, for froth
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters optional
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon or cinnamon stick for garnish
  • ice cubes
  • lemon wheel or peel for garnish

Instructions

  • Add bourbon, lemon juice, honey (or cinnamon) syrup, egg white (if using), ground cinnamon, and bitters to a shaker.
  • Add ice and shake hard for 15–20 seconds until cold.
  • If using egg white, shake again without ice for extra froth.
  • Strain into your glass over fresh ice or neat.

Notes

Swap maple syrup for deeper sweetness or use cinnamon whisky for more spice. Add more honey or syrup for a sweeter drink. Fresh lemon juice makes all the difference! Rim the glass with cinnamon sugar for a festive touch.
