3. Sweeten the Mix: Pour in 1/4 cup of simple syrup, adjusting to taste if you prefer a sweeter cocktail. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Serve: Pour the mixture into individual coffee mugs or heatproof glasses. Leave a little room at the top for garnishes.
5. Garnish and Enjoy: Top each drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg over the whipped cream and insert a cinnamon stick for a festive touch. Serve immediately while warm.

Extra Tips:

For an enhanced flavor, consider using freshly ground cinnamon instead of pre-ground for a more robust taste.

If you’re making this cocktail ahead of time, prepare the coffee mixture and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving, and add garnishes just before serving to keep them fresh and appealing.

Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your guests’ preferences for sweetness, and remember that a little goes a long way.
