Use a medium heat for the syrup mixture.

When you boil the sugar, cinnamon, and water on the stove, use a medium heat.

The mixture should start to boil after about a minute or two since it’s such a small batch. Let it continue to boil at medium heat for about two to three minutes, or until it starts to thicken. It won’t thicken very much, but will have a syrup-like texture.

You’ll only use some of the syrup mixture.

This recipe may be Starbucks-inspired, but it’s certainly not as sweet as the OG. I’m not a huge fan of sugary drinks, so I don’t use quite as much syrup as Starbucks.

If you use just about 1 tablespoon (or less if you prefer) of the yield in the below recipe, it still tastes just as yummy.

Serve in a high ball glass to take the presentation to the next level.

I got a little creative with this drink and put it in a high ball glass to make it look fancy. There’s no alcohol, but it elevates the presentation.

Also, instead of adding whipped cream, I sprinkled a few coconut shreds on top with a couple of cinnamon sticks. You can also put a cinnamon stick or two in the final drink for an extra kick.

After all, cinnamon does have a number of wonderful health benefits.

Most of us only meet wine once it’s already in t Most of us only meet wine once it’s already in the bottle.

But during harvest, even something as simple as leaves making it through sorting can affect what eventually ends up in your glass.

At @hawkinscellars, I got a closer look at how many small decisions happen before a bottle ever reaches the table.

It’s the kind of detail you don’t see on the label.

I’ve spent the past year studying wine, but actu I’ve spent the past year studying wine, but actually getting my hands on the grapes was a completely different experience.

We tasted Pinot Noir that was still too acidic and “green,” which meant it needed a few more days on the vine. I knew harvest timing mattered, but actually tasting a grape that wasn’t ready yet made it click.

Then I spent a few hours sorting Grenache, pulling out leaves and anything else that shouldn’t make it into the wine. Thane told us the grapes were exceptionally clean, which I learned isn’t always the case.

I also finally got to watch a “mini punch-down” after reading about them in wine textbooks for the past year.

And now I’m hoping this story gets one more chapter. If Hawkins bottles the Grenache as a single-varietal wine, I may eventually get to taste a wine made from grapes I helped sort.

If you could spend a day behind the scenes at a winery, what would you want to see?

Fall cocktail menus are shifting, and some longtim Fall cocktail menus are shifting, and some longtime favorites aren’t getting the same love behind the bar.

I spoke with three bartenders about what they’re excited to pour this season and what they’re ready to leave behind.

One trend gaining ground? Savory cocktails, with unexpected ingredients making their way into the glass.

But that’s only one side of what’s changing behind the bar this fall.

I broke down 5 trends that are in and 5 that are out this season for Business Insider.
