Tips:
- Be sure to use a shallow dish, such as a saucer or small plate, for the sugar mixture. This will make it easier to dip the glass in and out of the mixture.
- If you don't have any cinnamon sticks, you can use ground cinnamon instead. Just be sure to use a light hand, as too much cinnamon can be overpowering.
- If you're using a flavored sugar, such as vanilla or chocolate sugar, be sure to taste the mixture before you add it to the glass. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar depending on the flavor.
- For an extra festive touch, you can add a sprinkle of colored sugar to the rim of the glass.
- If you're making a hot beverage that is not alcoholic, you can use a mixture of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a richer flavor.
