Spiced Simple Syrup

This cinnamon-spiked syrup adds serious warmth to dark spirits

Fact: Making this spiced and warming (but not "spicy") syrup will make your kitchen smell heavenly. Use it to add bold flavor and sweetness to any dark spirit: whiskey, aged rum, brandy. And you'll want to save a little to drizzle over pancakes the morning after.
