Directions

1. Place bourbon and spices in a glass jar with a lid.
2. Allow to infuse for 24 hours, shaking occasionally.
3. Strain the bourbon into a clean jar. This makes enough for 8 cocktails.
4. Make the cocktail: Add the maple syrup, water, and bitters to the bottom of an old-fashioned glass.
5. Add the ice and the bourbon, and stir for about 30 seconds.
6. Garnish with orange peel: Rub a piece of orange peel around the rim of the glass and drop it in.
