Old Fezziwig

A Christmas Carol drink: Earl Grey tea, fig preserves and pecan orgeat with dry sherry, rye and aged Demerara rum, sharpened with lime and finished with fresh cinnamon. Brandon named it for Old Fezziwig and chose its ingredients with their history in mind.

Method

  1. Warm the fig preserves just enough to loosen them, so they combine easily.
  2. Add everything to a shaker without ice.
  3. Dry shake for about 15 seconds to work the preserves in thoroughly.
  4. Add ice and shake for another 15 seconds.
  5. Strain over fresh ice.
  6. Grate fresh cinnamon over the top and add a cinnamon stick.
