Last month I made WAY too much Cinnamon Syrup for messing around with winter cocktails...it's obviously NOT winter weather anymore (give it 2 weeks). Enough syrup that it's now defining an entire month of cocktails (sorry not sorry) and given that 90% of our cocktail game is weather dependent, we're starting with simple tiki-style drink (simple by tiki standards) that's part daquiri and part simplified zombie. Either way it's delicious, and if we're lucky will put a major dent in this cinnamon simple.

1.5oz White Rum, we used Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum
0.5oz Cognac, I knew that bottle of Hind would come in handy!
0.75oz Lime Juice, fresh squeezed or g**o
0.75oz Cinnamon Syrup, 1.5:1 ratio
Combine all them wonderful ingredients in a shaker filled with ice and shake...vig or russ lee. Strain into a coupe/nick & nora glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
For the simple, in a sauce pan combine equal parts (say 1c) of sugar and water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and add a few cinnamon sticks. Cover and let steep for an hour. Bottle it and use all month with us!
