Notes

  • Nonalcoholic version:  Use 2 oz water instead of bourbon.  The shelf life of the syrup will be shorter (about 2 weeks). 
  • Flavoring Options:  - Add a dash of ground cinnamon an/or ginger to the syrup before shaking.  - Add a cinnamon stick to the jar, and allow the cinnamon to infuse into the bourbon until you're happy with the flavor (infuse from about 1 day - 1 week)- Use flavored whiskey or flavored honey
