Makes

1 drink

Ingredients

  • Ice for shaker
  • 1 ½ ounces local bourbon
  • 1 ounce tawny port
  • ½ ounce Ransom dry vermouth
  • ½ ounce Cointreau
  • 3 dashes orange bitters
  • ½ to 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 3 grinds black pepper
  • 1 roasted clementine wheel for garnish
  • 1 candied orange bacon slice for garnish
  • 1 large ice cube

Instructions

  • Thinly slice the clementine and place on a baking sheet along with a thick-cut slice of bacon (or a few to have extra samples!). If you want to choose the best-looking clementine wheel, slice the whole thing and roast all the pieces. Top the bacon slice with light brown sugar and black pepper.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Mix all ingredients except for the clementine wheel and the bacon. Strain into a rocks glass with 1 large ice cube. Garnish drink with remaining clementine wheel and bacon strip.
