Using fresh lemon juice and a good whiskey can make all the difference in taste. The cinnamon syrup adds the magic! ✨

Notes

Some tips from my own experience:

Adjust sweetness: Add more syrup if you like it sweeter.
Use crushed ice: If you prefer a bit more dilution.
Explore spices: Muddle a bit of nutmeg with cinnamon for a unique twist.
Non-alcoholic option: Swap whiskey with apple juice for a tasty mocktail. 🍏
