Equipment
- Shaker
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of orange zest
- ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 ounces of aged brandy
- 1 ounce of homemade simple syrup
- ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ ounces of heavy cream
- A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by taking a shaker. In it, add the aged brandy, simple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest. The order doesn’t change its destiny, but it’s good practice to put liquids first.
- Now sprinkle in the cinnamon. This adds warmth. It’s also that lovely hint of nostalgia we all adore.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. This step is vital. It not only chills the mixture but also blends those flavors beautifully. Shake until well mixed and your hands can feel the chill.
- Take a clean glass and strain the mixture into it. Then, slowly pour in the heavy cream. You want to create a layered effect. The contrast of the cream against the punch-colored liquid is visually stunning.
- Finally, grate fresh nutmeg over the top. Just a pinch. This elevates the aroma and adds a sophisticated flair.
Notes
- Use Quality Ingredients: Quality brandy makes a noticeable difference. Don’t skimp on what you put in!
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the simple syrup to your taste. Some may prefer it sweeter, while others may want to keep it balanced.
- Chill Everything: For the best experience, use chilled glassware. Keeping everything chilled enhances the drinking experience.
- Experiment with Flavor: Want a twist? You can try flavors like almond extract instead of vanilla for a different profile.
- Make Ahead: You can mix the base ingredients without cream ahead of time. Add cream just before serving.
