Makes 1 drink
1/2 slice (about ¾-inch thick) of artisanal wheat bread
2 ounces Bushmills Irish whiskey
1 egg
1/2 ounce honey syrup (1 part honey dissolved in 1 part warm water)
1/2 ounce fresh orange juice
Dash of Reagan's Orange Bitters No. 6 (or other orange bitters)
Freshly grated cinnamon, for garnish
In a glass, muddle the bread with the whiskey for 1 minute, then pass the mixture through a tea strainer into a cocktail shaker, pressing on the bread to extract all of the whiskey (you should get about 1 1/2 ounces). Add the egg, honey syrup, orange juice and bitters and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer, until the drink is frothy and well-chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a small pinch of freshly grated cinnamon.
I'm not so sure how I feel about cinnamon, whiskey, eggs, orange juice and bread in my cocktail, but it was created by mixologist Jackson Cannon at Boston's Eastern Standard so he must know what's he doing, right?
