DIRECTIONS
Shake all ingredients and DOUBLE STRAIN into a large rocks glass. (Use a 3” fine mesh strainer. Mixture will strain slowly, so use a spoon to agitate the mixture in the strainer to speed up the process.)

Simmer all ingredients on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep for another 2-3 hours.

Garnish: A small amount of fresh, grated nutmeg.
Place all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until mixture is frothy. Strain into a coupe and garnish with pumpkin spice or grated nutmeg.
