So, we’ve really enjoyed the homemade cinnamon candy around here.
Mr. Cook in a Bar and I knew we could increase our enjoyment by combining the sweet and spicy candy with alcohol. Now, big surprise here…we went with bourbon. Yeah, we’re a little preoccupied.
The drink came together pretty easily for us and we both slurped it up quickly, but we struggled with a name. Luckily, our friend Kate was willing to sample the drink and after only one round she came up with a name that we found both amusing and clever…
Red Headed Goldilocks
Makes 1 drink

2 oz bourbon (we used Knob Creek)

2 dashes Peychauds bitters
cinnamon rock candy
Put cinnamon rock candy in plastic bag and crush finely with rolling pin.
Moisten rim of rocks glass and coat with crushed candy.
