Perfect Storm

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Jim Beam Black
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Ruby Port, Sandeman
3 ds Orange bitters, Fee Brothers Orange
Instructions

In a glass combine bourbon, allspice dram, honey syrup, lemon juice and bitters. Shake and strain into an ice filled Old Fashioned. Top with port.

Notes

You could up the St. Elizabeth allspice dram to 1/2 oz if you want, but I like how you get a hint of it in each sip vs. an upfront spice note.

  • Quite good. Made a second as a slight variation, swapping rye for bourbon, Wigle Landlocked Spiced (a spiced rum made with honey instead of sugar) for the honey syrup + pimiento dram, and orange for lemon.
