Cocktails with Cinnamon syrup
Cinnamon syrup is a sweetener made by infusing sugar syrup with cinnamon bark.
Taste profile
Warm and woody spice over a heavy sweetness, with a faintly resinous, drying finish.
How it's used
Sweetening and spicing at once, it adds body and a warm aromatic note; a small measure is stirred or shaken into the build, dosed carefully so the spice supports rather than dominates.
Substitutes for Cinnamon syrup
A plain sugar syrup with a pinch of ground cinnamon, or another warm-spice syrup of similar sweetness.
Description
Cinnamon syrup combines sugar and water with whole or broken cinnamon sticks, steeped or gently heated until the spice's oils dissolve into the liquid, then strained to a clear, spiced syrup.
Storage
Refrigerate house-made syrup in a sealed bottle and use within a couple of weeks.
