Other uses for cinnamon - use it to experiment with coffee drinks - hot or cold.

That was a great idea. I made myself a little sick on iced coffees with cinnamon syrup this afternoon. I wasn't a fan of cinnamon coffee when using the commercial syrup, but it's a different animal with the homemade. (This experiment made me think to try iced coffee with demerara sugar--also a winner.)

Go out and buy whatever ingredients you are missing for the Donga Punch and Jet Pilot. Both are outstanding drinks.

The Jet Pilot looks basically like a 1934 zombie without the grenadine. I'll give it a try shortly though.

On the Donga Punch, unfortunately Pennsylvania is a control state and getting any sort of Martinique rum is a challenge. I can special-order NIESSEN RHUM RESERVE SPECIALE for $68 or
RHUM CLEMENT RHUM VIEUX VSOP AGED for $38, but I haven't yet worked up the financial fortitude to try one.

Are you asking for other recipes for cocktails? or interesting ways other than cocktails to use up the syrup?

I was thinking of cocktails, but other suggestions are welcome!
