What to do with cinnamon-infused syrup? - Tiki Drinks and Food

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this vs the homemade version. I immediately made the Donga punch, '34 Zombie, Tropical Itch and the Jet Pilot. I felt that, even as part of Don's mix, the cinnamon flavor was really prominent - not overly spicy as there is ample sugar in the syrup, but definitely omnipresent. Anyway, just looking for feedback on Starbucks vs the homemade stuff. To the other posters in PA, its definitely worth it to get the martinique rum, if not for these drinks, for many others. Although, except for the Tropical Itch (bourbon flavor came through too much), the other drinks - '34 Zombie, Jet Pilot, Donga punch - were well worth making. tfj
