 Welcome to Drinks Made Easy. Do you like apple butter, jams, and other foods like that? Oh my god, yes! A lot of people don't realize that those foods can be excellent in cocktails. They're high in flavor, they've got a bit of sweetness, so they blend really well together with alcohol. And a great example of that today is the Harvest Cocktail. To make the Harvest Cocktail, you'll start with half an ounce of cinnamon syrup. And to make cinnamon syrup, it's really easy. Just take five cinnamon sticks, a cup of water, put it in a saucepan, bring it to a boil, then take it down to a simmer for five minutes, allow it to cool, strain it, and then just add equal parts by volume of the cinnamon tea and sugar. In this case, we just made a small batch with a quarter cup of cinnamon tea to a quarter cup of sugar. And there you have cinnamon syrup. Next, you'll add one heaping teaspoon of apple butter. One and a half ounces of brandy. And cap that off into a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. Fine strain into the cup of your choice. Now I'm using the fine strainer because of the apple butter, just in case there's any little chunks in there. Garnish with some fresh grated cinnamon and a luxardo cherry. And there you have the Harvest Cocktail. Thanks so much for watching. Please be sure to like, subscribe, and click on the bell icon so you'll be notified any time I release a new video. And if there are any cocktails that use butters, jams, etc. that you'd love to see on the show, please leave a suggestion. And remember, especially during the holiday seasons, to please drink responsibly because everybody likes to make friends, but nobody likes to make them in a prison shower.
