A Cinnamon Toast cocktail is a warm, comforting drink that combines cinnamon and creamy flavors.

Course: Drinks

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz spiced rum e.g., Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry
• 1 1/2 oz cinnamon schnapps e.g., Goldschläger
• 3 oz half-and-half or whole milk
• Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)
• Cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)

Instructions

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Add the spiced rum, cinnamon schnapps, and half-and-half or milk to the shaker.
• Shake well until well-chilled and combined.
• Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.
• If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish and/or add a cinnamon stick for stirring.

Glassware

The typical glassware used for a Cinnamon Toast Cocktail is a rocks glass, also known as an old fashioned glass. This traditional tumbler-style drinking vessel is the perfect size to contain all of your ingredients, plus any garnishes you may choose to add. To make it even more festive and fun, try serving your Cinnamon Toast Cocktail in a cinnamon sugar rimmed glass or one that has been dipped in caramel!

Spicy and Sweet

This cocktail has a unique flavor profile that is both sweet and spicy. The whiskey provides the main base of the drink, with notes of oak, vanilla and caramel. These are complemented by the sweet almond flavor from the amaretto liqueur and sweetness from simple syrup. Angostura bitters add a slightly bitter note to balance out all of these flavors, while ground cinnamon adds a distinct warmth to finish off this complex yet balanced drink.

Ground cinnamon adds an extra layer to this delicious concoction, providing subtle warming spices in every sip without overwhelming everything else going on here. It’s just enough spice to make it interesting but not so much as to overpower other flavors at play here.

1. Choose high-quality cinnamon for your cocktail – look for one with a strong aroma and flavor.
