Don’s Mix

This is an essential ingredient for tiki drinks

Ingredients

3 cinnamon sticks

1 cup sugar, preferably unrefined

1 cup water

2 cups fresh juice from 3-4 grapefruits

Instructions

Put cinnamon sticks in a zip lock bag and bash a few times with a rolling pin. Combine broken cinnamon sticks, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain cinnamon syrup into a mason jar with a mesh strainer. Let cool.

Add grapefruit juice to cinnamon mixture and shake. Mixture can be stored, sealed, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, though it's tastiest when fresh.
