Go All In with a Smoked Cinnamon Cocktail
A solid poker face isn't the only trick to keep up your sleeve: Try this smoked cocktail, which doesn't require any fancy equipment to pull off. Smoked cinnamon is the extra step that plays up the oak that the Gentleman Jack whiskey was aged in for long-lasting flavor.
How to Make It: Combine 2 ounces of Gentleman Jack, ¼ ounce of cinnamon syrup and 2 dashes of bitters in a mixing glass, and fill with ice. Stir for 7 seconds. Place a cinnamon stick in a small bowl and light it with a match. Invert a double rocks glass on top and allow smoke to fill the glass. Turn the glass right-side up, strain the cocktail into the glass, add ice and garnish with the cinnamon stick, then serve.
