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.

Ingredients

    blank

    • 16 oz bourbon 
    • 2 tablespoons loose leaf Earl Grey Tea

    • 1/2 teaspoon Madagascar Vanilla Powder (optional, but very delicious) 

    blank

    • 3 oz infused bourbon 

    • 1 oz lemon juice
    • ½ tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste

    • 5 oz peach juice, such as Simply Peach or Trader Joe's Country Peach

    Directions

      blank

      1. In an airtight jar or bottle, stir together bourbon, tea, and vanilla powder if using. Infuse for at least 4 hours or overnight, shaking every so often to reinvigorate the spices. Strain into a clean container.

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