Notes
To taste: The beauty of making a cocktail is you could make it less or more strong in the flavors. Add more gin if you like a stiffer drink. Use less, if you prefer something lighter. I always add more cinnamon, as I love the flavor. Again, use more or less cinnamon, whatever is your spice preference.
Large batch: You could double or triple the recipe, depending how many you need. It could be served in a pitcher or even a party punch bowl.
