+# Oatmilk and Cinnamon
+
+Inspired by a local coffee shop.
+
+* 2 oz. cold brew concentrate
+* 6 oz. oat milk
+* 1/2 oz. [cinnamon honey vanilla simple syrup]({{< ref "/blog/simple-syrup" >}})
+* ice (preferrably [clear ice]({{< ref "/blog/clear-ice" >}}))
+* ground cinnamon for dusting
+
+Mix cold brew, oat milk, simple syrup, and ice. Dust the top with cinnamon. A dusting of cinnamon is sufficient but greatly enhances the drink's flavor, probably due to some [synergy between taste and smell](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/experts-how-does-sight-smell-affect-taste/).

+# Almond Milk Mocha
+
+Sometimes mistakes lead to tasty discoveries. In this case I accidentally poured chocolate almond milk instead of vanilla, then decided to keep pouring.
+
+* 2 oz. cold brew concentrate
+* 6 oz. chocolate almond milk
+
+Mix and serve warm or over ice.
