Ingredients

  • 1 oz Bourbon
  • 2/3 oz Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 oz Orgeat Syrup
  • 5 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 2/3 oz Taylor Tawny 10 yr Port
  • 1 oz Cold 2% Milk
  • 1 oz Cold 35% Cream

Instructions

  1. In a mixing jar, combine bourbon, freshly squeezed lemon juice, orgeat syrup, and Angostura bitters. Stir with 1 ice cube.
  2. In a separate container, mix cold 2% milk and cold 35% cream, then pour the cocktail into the milk mixture. Give it a quick stir before covering and placing it in the fridge (wrap with cling wrap to prevent flavor absorption). Leave it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  3. Pour the mixture through a coffee filter and let it strain for 30 minutes. Strain once more for a refined cocktail.
  4. Pour the clarified cocktail over 1 large ice cube and garnish with a dehydrated lemon wheel.
