Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour bourbon into a 16-ounce mason jar or two 8-ounces mason jars.
  • Insert cinnamon sticks and cloves. For less spice, use fewer whole spices.
  • Store in a dark place. Smell and taste it every 2-3 days until it reaches your preferred level of spice. More time and more spices will yield a stronger taste.

Notes

If the cinnamon whiskey becomes too strong in flavor, you can dilute it with more whiskey, preferably the same brand/type you started with.
Don't add more than 2 cloves, as they can overpower the cinnamon. Cloves have numbing properties that can be unpleasant to drink.
