For the Cinnamon Syrup

To make the drink
Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice. Pour in the bourbon and cinnamon syrup. Stir gently to combine. In a separate Old Fashioned glass, add a few drops of amaretto and turn the glass to coat it in the liqueur. Pour out the excess amaretto. Strain the bourbon mixture into the amaretto glass. Add one or two cubes of ice, if desired.
