Chai-Town Brown

2 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark (Chai Infused)
1 bsp Allspice Dram (home made)
1 bsp Grade B maple syrup, Deep Mountain
3 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Add Maple syrup, Allspice Dram and Bitters in old fashioned glass. Swirl until blended. Add large cube of ice and pour over Chai Infused bourbon. Garnish with Orange twist.

Notes

The bourbon is 2 bags of chai tea infused with 24 oz of makers mark for 1 hour.
This drink is spicy, yet the black walnut gives it a solid backbone.

  • The lower EtOH from water is an interesting/unusual direction for a drink like this. I like it! Went light on the simple (.5bsp?) as per the comment.
  • Strong flavors and boozy. Nice variation to the usual manhattan
  • Next time, no simple syrup
  • No need for the simple.
  • Heavy wormwood from their house vermouth infusion melds with the anise from the Chartreuse for a strong absinthe flavor.
