A glass of gin and tonic with ice and an orange twist sits on a wooden board beside a green Tanqueray gin bottle and a halved orange, with string lights in the background.

Cinnamon is a classic seasonal favorite – from its smell to its taste to even its look. You really can’t go wrong by adding cinnamon to your cocktail. Thanks to its botanical makeup, gin plays well with lots of fresh spices and herbs – including cinnamon! This wintry take on a classic G&T spices things up with seasonal garnishes. The best garnishes engage at least three senses: sight, smell and taste, so try adding sprigs of rosemary, whole cinnamon sticks, orange peels or even leftover holiday candy to create fun, inventive garnishes.
