How to infuse the glass with cinnamon and bourbon flames
-Ignite bourbon
-Sprinkle cinnamon powder
-Enjoy the fireworks
-Extinguish the flame with an inverted martini glass
-Let the smoke coat the inside of the glass and use to serve the drink.
Trivia
The making of this cocktail is not less than an event due to the sparks that the cinnamon powder generates when thrown on a flame. It is a wonderful sight to witness! The only way the cinnamon flavour is imparted is through smoke - cinnamon is never added to the drink itself but still the flavour is unmistakable
