Cinnamon Old Fashioned

10 min

This cocktail began as a tribute to the comforting aromas that drift through a whisky bar in the colder months at Seaton House.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Old Fashioned

  • 50ml Apple and cinnamon infused Bulliet bourbon (infused inhouse)
  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2ml homemade cinnamon syrup
  • Caramelised apple slice garnish
  • One large ice cube

Method

Cinnamon Old Fashioned

Infuse bourbon with crisp apple and cinnamon.
Let it rest until the spirit holds both the depth of oak and the warmth of spice.
Add in the house-made cinnamon syrup.
Stir with care to keep the drink spirit-forward.
Pour over a large ice cube.
Lay a caramelised apple slice across the top.
