Abstract:

I make no excuses where my lack of temperance is concerned. Sometimes, it's just nice to kick your feet up at the end of the day and sip on a nip of liquor and forget about all the crap you didn't get done (if there's one thing I've learned it that it'll still be there tomorrow).

Anyhow, during the holiday season I figure if you're gonna take a booze break that you might as well be seasonal and festive about the whole thing; and where that's concerned You can't do much better than homemade cinnamon schnapps. This schnapps recipe started out as one passed around by neighbors that ended up in my father-in-law's pocket. It was always good, but still needed just a little tweaking to make it consistent. One of the secrets to this recipe's consistency and mouthfeel is the judicious addition of glycerin. In little ol' Hays, USA that stuff is harder to come by (and more expensive)than one would think; but you're a much better planner than I am and I know you'll find your glycerin and cinnamon oil online for a fraction of the price I paid.

Enjoy the video, and by all means, enjoy the cordial, and remember that schnapps are for sharing! (responsibly, of course)
