Ingredients

  • 2 oz infused bourbon (prepared with 2 cups bourbon, 1 whole star anise, 2 whole cinnamon sticks, 12 whole cloves, 1 split vanilla bean)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp water
  • 4 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
  • Ice
  • Orange peel

Instructions

  1. To make the infused bourbon, combine bourbon and spices in a glass jar with a lid and allow to infuse for 24 hours, shaking occasionally. Then, strain the bourbon into a clean jar. (This makes enough for 8 cocktails)
  2. In an old-fashioned glass, add maple syrup, water, and bitters.
  3. Add ice and the infused bourbon, and stir for about 30 seconds.
  4. Garnish with a piece of orange peel by rubbing it around the rim of the glass and dropping it in.
