Price Category: $
A blended Canadian whisky with sweeteners and cinnamon flavoring added to produce a syrupy sweet and bright cinnamon flavor.
German Riesling

8-12% ABV
German Rieslings produce a fresh flavor showcasing tree fruit and mineral flavors without the oakiness that is generally characteristic of most Riesling wines. Late harvest Rieslings tend to have a higher ABV along with acidity. German Rieslings are almost never blended with other varieties, and they are a major producer of cloned vines.
Cinnamon Simple Syrup

Cinnamon is a common spice around the world known for bringing out flavors while contributing an earthy and warming spice flavor. A cinnamon syrup is one of the easiest ways to deliver cinnamon flavor to a beverage for ease of mixing and balance of sweetness.
To Make Cinnamon Syrup:
4-5 Cinnamon Sticks
6 oz (180mL/187.5 g) Water
.5 cup (100 g) Cane Sugar
In a small saucepan, combine Cinnamon Sticks and Water. Heat on medium low heat until boiling. Cover and reduce to low and allow to simmer for 30-60 minutes. Remove Cinnamon Sticks and add sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour into a syrup bottle. Store in a cool, dark place.
Soda Water

Sparkling water is a great neutral mixer that will lower overall ABV while highlighting the flavor of the spirit. The effervescence adds a texture and interest of a drink while masking some of the bite associated with grain alcohol.
Orange Peel Twist

A finishing ingredient that provides an aroma, a layer of flavor, and usually a elegant pop of color.
Aroma: Fresh citrus and light floral scent.
Flavor: A brightening of flavors and a bit of citrus zip that helps enhance the flavors of the cocktail.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Few films capture the carefree spirit of youth quite like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a sharp and endlessly quotable comedy from writer-director John Hughes. High school charmer Ferris Bueller fakes an illness and convinces his anxious best friend Cameron Frye and girlfriend Sloane Peterson to skip school for an unforgettable day of adventure across Chicago. As the trio races from baseball games to museums and parade floats, Ferris turns the city into his personal playground while staying one step ahead of his determined principal. Beneath the film’s breezy comedy lies a surprisingly thoughtful story about friendship, growing up, and learning to embrace life before it passes you by. The result is a timeless celebration of rebellion, freedom, and the simple joy of taking a day off when the world least expects it.
