Notes

Pro Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, lightly muddle the cinnamon stick in the bottom of the glass before pouring in the cocktail.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a brighter, more vibrant sourness that complements the spices.
Chilling your glass beforehand ensures your cocktail stays cold for longer without too much dilution from the ice.
