I’ve always been a fan of cereal sans milk. It’s the best for snacking and avoiding cold, soggy spoonfuls. But this creamy, cinnamony bourbon cocktail from Maggie Hoffman’s new book, The One-Bottle Cocktail, has me rethinking the sweet leftover liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Created by Jared Hirsch of NickelDime Syrups and Sidebar in Oakland, CA, the Breakfast of Champions starts with a Honey Nut Cheerios and milk infusion.
“Whether or not Honey Nut Cheerios were your favorite accompaniment to Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, this creamy whiskey drink is too fun to resist,” Hoffman writes. “Bourbon slices through the sweet, nutty flavor of the milk, and it’s all enlivened with a sprinkle of cinnamon.”

The milk infusion makes enough for two drinks, so scale up if you’re serving a crowd. Oh, and your friends would probably appreciate cereal milk that isn’t your leftovers.
