Ingredients

For the Simple Syrup;

  • 1 cup (237ml) water
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 star anise
  • 6 thyme sprigs
  • 6 cardamom pods

For the cocktails;

  • 1/2 ounce (15ml) simple syrup
  • 1/2 ounce (15ml) water
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters
  • 2 ounces (59ml) bourbon

To garnish;

  • orange peel
  • cinnamon sticks
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  • Combine the simple syrup ingredients, bring to a boil and let them steep on the stove for 30 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Combine the cinnamon-spiced simple syrup with water, bitters, and bourbon in an ice-filled glass.
  • Top glass with orange peel and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • Strain your simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth before refrigerating. 
  • But don’t toss those spices! Add the leftover spices and some sliced citrus to a small pot filled with water and simmer on your stove for a wonderful and frugal simmering potpourri. 
  • Combine all of your cocktail ingredients in a glass and give them a stir. Then add the ice last.
