Notes
This cocktail is best when super cold. Adjust sweetness by tweaking the syrup or using milk instead of half-and-half. Almond milk works for dairy-free, but whole milk is richest. Try rimming the glass with cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness. Offer extra whipped cream and cinnamon so everyone can customize their drink.
