6 lf Sage (one as garnish)
1⁄2 oz Maple syrup
2 oz Bourbon (pecan-infused; see Notes)
1 oz Lemon juice
8 dr Cardamom bitters (as garnish)
Instructions
Muddle 5 sage leaves in maple syrup. Add bourbon/lemon/egg/ice. Shake, strain to remove ice/leaves, then shake again to add froth. Pour onto large cube and garnish with bitters and extra sage leaf.
Notes
For the infused bourbon, toast one part pecan halves in an air fryer 300 degrees for 4 minutes. In a sealable jar, combine with 2 parts bourbon. Let sit, shaking occasionally, for a few days. (Taste often; there’s a tipping point between enough flavor extracted, and too bitter, that you don’t want to overshoot.)
