Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz whole milk
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon toast crunch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz amaretto
  • 1 oz cinnamon toast crunch simple syrup
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 3/4 oz apple cider
  • 2 pieces cinnamon toast crunch for garnish

Method
 

  1. Make cinnamon toast crunch simple syrup (see notes for recipe).
  2. Combine bourbon, amaretto, cinnamon toast crunch simple syrup, lime juice and apple cider to a bowl.
  3. Stir well and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, add the whole milk (BONUS: let some cinnamon toast crunch cereal soak in the milk for about 20 minutes before using the milk for extra cinnamon toast crunch flavor).
  5. Pour the bourbon mixture INTO the whole milk.
  6. Set this aside and let the mixture curdle for at least 1 hour (ideally 2-5 hours).
  7. Put a coffee filter into a fine mesh strainer.
  8. Place the fine mesh strainer over a bowl.
  9. Pour the curdled mixture through the coffee filter/strainer. It will begin to drip into the bowl.
  10. The full straining process will take roughly 4-6 hours.
  11. Store the final cocktail in a sealed bottle or jar in the fridge for up to 1 month.
