How to Make a Tiny Bourbon Cocktail Called 'Sign Up For My Boozeletter'

Welcome to Boozinette. This is the Sign Up For My Boozeletter.

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 oz grapefruit juice
• 1 oz cinnamon syrup
• 4 cracked cinnamon sticks
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water

In a small saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. Strain, contain, let cool & refrigerate.

Pour all liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake with regularity for 10-12 seconds. Strain into a lowball over ice. Forget the garnish and take comfort in the fact that wherever there’s a thinkpiece, listicle, or smarmy e-mail, there might also be a funny life-affirming gif.
