Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail shaker or an empty jar

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 2/3 cup hibiscus tea strongly brewed and cooled
  • 4 oz bourbon whiskey
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 oz agave + more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • 2 orange slices + 2 more to serve
  • nutmeg freshly grated

Instructions

  • Shake all of the ingredients (minus the 2 extra orange slices and nutmeg) with ice, and double strain into smoked glasses.
  • Grate fresh nutmeg over each cocktail, and serve with a slice of orange.
  • To smoke the glasses: light two cinnamon sticks on fire. Once the fire catches, blow it out, and place the cocktail glasses over the smoking cinnamon sticks for about 30 seconds. Immediately fill the glasses with the cocktail.

Notes

Recipe Pro Tips:
  • I think this recipe is great as-is, but substituting the bourbon whiskey with your favorite rum, brandy, or cognac. 
  • Make this alcohol-free by omitting the bourbon whiskey. It's a delightful spiced tea!
