Allow it to cool before use. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the white chocolate liqueur, Disaronno, bourbon, half-and-half, vanilla simple syrup (if desired), and a pinch of ground cinnamon. 3. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds or until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 4. Strain the mixture into your chilled coupe or martini glass. 5
