    • 1 750 milliliter bottle whiskey
    • 5 to 6 cinnamon sticks
    • 3/4 ounce simple syrup
    • 4 to 5 dried chilies

    INSTRUCTIONS

    2. After 5 days, open the cinnamon-infused whiskey, and add dried red chilies. Cover, and shake a few times to mix. Store for 2 more days.

    3. After 7 days, strain whiskey through a cheesecloth or strainer to remove the cinnamon and chili peppers. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 to 6 months.
