- 1 ½ shots Crème de Cacao

Optional Ingredients:
- Mint leaves for garnish
- Chocolate bar for shavings

Combine the above liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with cubed ice and shake. After shaken, the drink can be poured into a chilled martini glass.

How to make Cinnamon liqueur: Or so I thought…
Homemade Cinnamon Liqueur
Cinnamon. In ancient times it was a luxurious gift for kings and gods. Today it makes an appearance on our cinnamon rolls, apple cobbler and even french toast.
Me, I just want to devour anything that tastes like it. Mix it with alcohol? Even BETTER.
With no exaggeration, I LOVE cinnamon. It seems that the more I eat cinnamon my love for it just grows like a cinnamon tumour inside me. As I began making liqueurs I knew that cinnamon liqueur would be a key step in my quest for excellent homemade liqueur.
Before I talk about the four cinnamon liqueur variants I made, let me rant a little on the things I learned about Cinnamon.
Cocktail: Steak 954 “Rio Mar”
I recently wrote a review of "St-Germain Liqueur". Then I stumbled upon a delicious sounding cocktail which includes black-berry infused St-Germain. It was created by Bartender Jonathan Taylor from the restaurant Steak 954 in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. Check out the recipe below.
Steak 954 Rio Mar
1 1 / 4 ounce black cherry bourbon
1 ounce blackberry-infused St. Germain
1 ounce lemon juice
Dash Angostura bitters
Ice
1 1 /2 to 2 ounces prosecco
3 St. Germain-infused blackberries
"How to make the drink: Put the bourbon, black-berry infused St. Germain, lemon juice and Angostura bitters into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled champagne flute. Add enough prosecco to fill the glass to about an inch from the top. Garnish by floating 3 infused blackberries on top of the drink. Makes 1 serving. — Tracey Broussard"
