If sugar and spice and everything nice is what little girls are made of, cinnamon spice with a shot or two of vodka is what those ladies are made of when they turn 25 or so, especially now that Kahlua is slinging a cinnamon-spiked label. The new liqueur is geared toward the fall-beverage market, if pumpkin cocktails are not your thing, a hit or two of this makes for a good substitute (same goes for those of you who aren’t fans of eggnog – keep a bottle of this around during the Christmas season if you aren’t a fan of the holiday classic).
There are plenty of options to mix up with this stuff, including a cocktail that was inspired by all those trips to the apple orchard. Mixologist Lynnette Marrero came up with this one and yes, one of the ingredients is apple BUTTER. Drool.
