Ingredients
1 ½ ounces cocoa-infused tequila (see note)
½ ounce bourbon
½ teaspoon simple syrup
Dash cinnamon tincture (see note)
Lemon twist, for garnish
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine liquid ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain into a chilled rocks glass and garnish with lemon twist.
To make cocoa-infused tequila, add ½ cup pure cocoa powder to a 1-liter bottle of blanco tequila. Allow to sit overnight, then strain through a coffee filter. For the cinnamon tincture, toast 3 sticks cinnamon (2 minutes at 300 degrees) then crumble cinnamon into 12 ounces of high-proof vodka; steep for 3 days, then strain.

Comments
Really good. I also made a variation of this cocktail using 1.5 oz. cocoa tequila, .75 oz. Licor 43, and a dash of the cinnamon tincture. Good stuff.
