Cinnamon
SpiceAutumnUsed in ~30 drinks
Warm, sweet, and unmistakably festive — cinnamon is the most recognizable baking spice in cocktails, providing a cozy heat that is aromatic rather than pungent. Ceylon cinnamon offers a delicate, floral sweetness, while cassia bark delivers a bolder, more aggressive warmth. Cinnamon anchors hot toddies, mulled wines, and autumn punch bowls, but also finds a home in tiki drinks through its presence in falernum and orgeat.
Aroma
The nose is immediately warm and sweet — cinnamon bark, a hint of dried fruit, and a spicy-sweet quality that evokes holiday markets, mulled wine, and gingerbread kitchens.
