Cinnamon is a delicious and warm-tasting spice that can add a lot of flavor to your food and drinks – including cocktails.

Not only does it taste great, but it also is chock full of antioxidants, has antibacterial properties, and can help regulate blood sugar.
The brain-healthy spice is the perfect flavor profile to pair with cocktails, as it adds a spiciness and warmness to alcohol.
Here are some of the best cinnamon cocktails you should try to spice up your cocktail night.
