Make The Cosmic Cowboy
Ingredients
1 oz. Desert Door’s Oak-Aged Sotol Finished in Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon Barrels 1 oz. Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon 1/4 oz. Honey 1/4 oz. Liber & Co. Ginger Syrup 2 Dashes Cardamom Bitters 2 Dashes Chocolate Bitters 1 oz. Orange Juice 1/2 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream 1/2 in. Piece of Turmeric Chopped Dehydrated Orange Wheel
Instructions
In a shaking tin, muddle turmeric. Add sotol, bourbon, and honey and stir vigorously until honey is combined. Add ginger syrup, bitters, orange juice, cream, and ice to the shaker and shake vigorously. Pull out your chocolate dipped-glass and pour the drink into it over ice. Add an orange wheel for garnish if you wish.
To prepare glasses, melt semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl or pan over boiling water. When chocolate is fully melted, dip half of the 8 oz glass lip into it then pull out, giving excess time to drip off. Sprinkle some Maldon Salt then add all glasses to the freezer when done. Leave glasses in the freezer for at least 10-20 minutes. Pull them out when you are ready to prepare your drinks.
