Ingredients 

  • 60 ml 2 oz bourbon - my favorite is Maker's Mark
  • 15 ml ½ oz Benedictine liqueur
  • 15 ml ½ oz Monin Winter Spice syrup
  • orange wedge + zest
  • 1 sage leaf
  • optional - dry sage to smoke the glass
  • one large ice sphere - or large ice cubes

Instructions

  • In a shaker, add the bourbon, Benedictine, syrup, and 2-3 ice cubes. Shake well. 
  • Use a chilled glass. 
  • For this cocktail, I smoked the glass with some dry sage leaves. This is optional, but it adds to the experience. Add some leaves on a cutting board and light them on fire using a small torch or matchstick. Put the chilled glass over it, upside down, and let the smoke get into the glass.
  • Flip it, add the large ice cube or sphere and pour your cocktail from the shaker, onto the glass, using a strainer. 
  • Add one orange wedge and decorate with orange zest and a sage leaf.
