Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups milk (I use 2%, but whole would also be good)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 5-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 star anise
1 vanilla bean (optional)
2/3 cup Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)
1/3 cup bourbon (like Maker's Mark)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • To a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the milk, maple syrup, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, and star anise. If using a vanilla bean, split it open and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and remainder of vanilla bean to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and steaming. Reduce to low and heat for 5 minutes, being careful not to ever let it come to a full boil. Remove from heat. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large heat-proof bowl and carefully pour the liquid over the sieve. Discard the solids. Add the liquid back to the saucepan. Stir in the Irish cream, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
  • To garnish the mug rims, pour the 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup into a small saucer. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then pour it onto another small saucer. Dip the rims of the glasses into the maple syrup, then dip into the cinnamon and sugar mix, pressing to coat evenly. Flip over and fill glasses with the hot cocktail. Serve.

I used bourbon instead of whiskey and it was still really good. I think this cocktail is versatile and can be made with different spirits depending on your preference.
