🥄 Make the cinnamon syrup first

1. Add the dark brown sugar, water and cinnamon stick to a small saucepan.

3. Remove from the heat, steep for 20 minutes and take out the cinnamon stick. Leave to cool.

🥃 Make the cocktail

1. Chill the rocks glass briefly with ice. If you do not have one, use a sturdy 250 to 300 ml water glass.
2. Add the whiskey, cinnamon syrup and bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for about 20 seconds.
3. Add one fresh large ice cube to the glass and strain the cocktail over it.
4. Place the dried orange slice against the inside of the glass.

💡 Good to know
Start with 0.75 cl cinnamon syrup so the whiskey stays centre stage. Taste first, then add a small extra splash if you prefer a softer drink.
