Stir all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a glass filled with a large ice cube.

Cinnamon Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of demerara sugar, ¼ cup of white sugar, 5 crushed cinnamon sticks, and 1 cup water, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes, until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 hour, then strain, bottle, and keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.

Vanilla Rum: Add 3 split vanilla beans to a 750ml of aged rum. Let steep for 3 days, then strain and add 1/2 cup 2:1 simple syrup to the infusion. Shake well to combine. The infusion will keep indefinitely, but the vanilla flavor will fade over time.
