Posted by Christina Nalval on October 20, 2017

INGREDIENTS

4 cinnamon sticks

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 cups water

1/2 cup cold brew coffee (we recommend Grady's)

1/4 cup ginger beer (we recommend Cawston Press)

Fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

To make cinnamon simple syrup:

Add water and cinnamon to a small pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, and strain out cinnamon sticks. Bring water back to a boil, add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. (Yields 3.5 cups, can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 month).

To make the cocktail:

Combine 1/2 cup cold brew, 1/4 cup ginger beer, 1/4 cup cinnamon simple syrup, a squeeze of lemon juice, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake well to combine about 45 seconds. Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with sliced apple. Makes for a fun daytime cocktail!
