INGREDIENTS

• 2 oz. Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey
• ¼ oz. Brancamenta
• ½ oz. cardamom-macademia nut syrup (see note)
• 2 oz. cold brew coffee
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• Garnish: macademia nuts; mint sprig

DIRECTIONS

In a Julep cup or rocks glass, pour in whiskey, Brancamenta, cardamom-macademia nut syrup, and cold brew. Fill the cup ¾ of the way with crushed ice, then agitate the whole thing with a bar spoon or swizzler. Top with more crushed ice, dash the bitters, and garnish with a macademia nut or two and a mint sprig.

Note: To make cardamom-macademia nut syrup, you need

• ½ lb. macademia nuts
• ½ oz. black cardamom seeds
• 1 qt. demerara sugar
• 1 qt. water
• 1 whole orange peel, with most of the pith removed

Toast the macadamia nuts at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes, or until evenly browned. Combine all the ingredients and simmer at low heat until you can taste the macademia nuts in the syrup. Strain, setting aside the nuts for garnish.
