Spiced Honey Syrup Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup honey
4 cinnamon sticks
Peel from half of orange
6 cloves

Martini Ingredients

2 oz Kim Crawford Pinot Noir
1 oz aged rum
3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz Spiced Honey Syrup, warm (see instructions)
1/2 oz egg white
Freshly grated cinnamon for garnish

Spiced Honey Syrup

Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until warm and fragrant. (Avoid overcooking, as the syrup should not reduce and thicken.) Remove from heat; strain and discard solids. The syrup can be refrigerated for up to two weeks. However, it should be gently rewarmed to create the cocktail.

Then, add all ingredients except cinnamon to a cocktail tin and shake until you feel the mixture foaming. Add ice to the tin and shake hard for 10-15 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.

Note: The consumption of raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness.
