Silk Road Old Fashioned

Bourbon, Tea, Spices

This delicious riff on a classic Old Fashioned infuses bourbon with a blend of pu-erh tea, cinnamon, and other exotic spices. The result is a warming, sultry cocktail that changes flavor the longer it's allowed to infuse. 

First, make sure you've got the right tools for the job:

Next, let's make something delicious!

Inside the Porthole:

  • 20g cocoa nibs
  • 12g demerara sugar
  • 3g dry pu-erh tea leaves
  • 7 whole cloves
  • 3 whole cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole pieces star anise

Liquid to be Added:

  • 8½ oz (250 ml) bourbon
  • 2½ oz (75 ml) vermouth
  • 2½ oz (75 ml) water

To Assemble and Serve:

Arrange the infusion ingredients inside the Porthole. Close the Porthole, tighten screw, and check the seal for good contact on both sides.

Next, combine the liquid ingredients, and transfer this mixture into the assembled Porthole through the spout.

Allow to infuse, tasting periodically until the flavors unfold to your liking.
