Ingredients
  

  • 1½ ounces Social Still Folklore Rye Whiskey
  • ½ ounce Vigo Amaro
  • ¾ ounce Fireside Syrup recipe below
  • 1 ounce heavy cream
  • 1 large egg local, if possible
  • For garnish: orange twist and grated cinnamon

FIRESIDE SYRUP

  • 6 chai tea bags
  • 2 cups Franklin Hill Vineyards Evanswood or other medium-bodied red wine
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Shake all the cocktail ingredients in a shaker with ice until well chilled and frothy. Remove ice and shake again. Strain into whatever glass you like. Garnish with an orange twist and grated cinnamon. Enjoy!
  • Steep tea bags in 1 cup boiling water for a robust concentrate. Remove tea bags.
  • In a saucepan, mix red wine with spiced chai tea concentrate. Simmer mixture for 15–20 minutes. Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Simmer for an additional 10–15 minutes to reduce to desired thickness. Remove from heat, strain, and let cool. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to a month. The syrup can also be used as a topping on ice cream, over whipped cream and waffles, or enjoyed in your morning coffee.
