December Cocktail

1 1/4 oz. Chivas Regal 12 yo
Dash Cinnamon Syrup
2 oz. Apple Juice

Build all the ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass and add ice cubes. (Cinnamon Syrup can be made by mixing equal parts of powder sugar and warm water. Heat with a stick of Cinnamon and let rest until cold, when the Cinnamon will have infused fully).
Garnish with a pinch of Cinnamon powder, flamed.

Vanilla Hazlenut Blazer

2 oz. Chivas Regal 12 yo
2 tsp Brown Sugar
2 Hazelnuts
2 drops Vanilla Essence

Heat a brandy balloon over hot water with the whisky, sugar, vanilla and nuts. Set liquid aflame and twist glass to soften ingredients (about 30 seconds). Meanwhile, fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice. Pour flaming liquid over the ice. Garnish with 2 Hazelnuts & 2 Almonds.
