Last week I posted a Passover cake that used a Honey Cinnamon Syrup. This wonderful syrup itself is a mighty force that has many uses. You can apply it to ice cream, adorn pound cake, or apply to a warm corn muffin for breakfast.
Or, you can drink it. Put 3 ounces of ginger ale, 2 ounces of dark tequila, and 1 ounce of this syrup in a blender. Add ice, whirl away, and then enjoy. The combination of tequila, honey, and cinnamon offers you a modest jolt. Less than 8 on the Richter scale, but still formidable.
