Ingredient:

• ( 1.5 oz ) Bourbon, Cask Strength — Makers Mark Private Select
• ( 1 tsp ) Maple Syrup
• ( 3 dashes ) Aromatic Bitters — Angostura
• ( One whole stick ) Cinnamon

Notes:

• Begin by torching the top of a cinnamon stick on fire. When lit, invert a decanter over top to capture the smoke. When the decanter is opaque, quickly seal the top. Put aside for later.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing glass over ice and stir.
• Pour drink into the smoke-filled decanter. Swirl for 5-10 seconds. The longer you swirl, the more smokey the cocktail.
• Transfer drink into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
