Ingredients

3 ounces cinnamon heart simple syrup
2 ounces vodka
4 ounces club soda
ice

Instructions

Measure the simple syrup into a cocktail shaker along with the vodka. You don’t need any ice in the shaker, because you’re going to pour the mixture over ice.
Just shake the vodka and syrup so that it is mixed well. The syrup is really thick, so give it a good shake!
Now, fill a cocktail glass half full with ice. Pour the vodka and cinnamon simple syrup mixture over the ice.
Top the glass off with the club soda. Garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON HEART SIMPLE SYRUP

To make this cinnamon simple syrup at home, you will need to add one cup of cinnamon hearts, one cup of water, and two tablespoons of sugar to a saucepan. Over high heat, whisking constantly, bring the mixture to a boil. Keep whisking to ensure that the sugary candy doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the candy is completely dissolved completely, allow the mixture to continue to boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
