Inspired by a standout cocktail at Oakland's North Light, this is a drink that rewards a little patience. Earl Grey and a touch of Madagascar vanilla steep overnight in bourbon, coaxing out something floral and warm before a drop of anything else touches the glass. From there, fresh lemon, sweet peach and a hint of brown sugar add a bright and summery glow. Sophisticated enough for a dinner party, easy enough to make a pitcher of and not feel bad about it.

Combine all cocktail ingredients in a shaker full of ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into two coupe glasses.
