Ingredients

2 oz Bourbon
4 oz Ginger Beer
½ oz Lemon Juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 Candied Lemon slice

Instructions

Pour Bourbon over large ice cube in a lowball glass.
Add lemon juice and ginger beer.
Stir gently.
Garnish with candied lemon wheel (see below for directions) and cinnamon stick.
Light cinnamon stick so that it smolders, or smokes slightly.
Serve and enjoy!

Candied Lemon Wheel Garnish

Slice lemon into very thin wheels- no more than ¼ inch thickness.
Coat lemon wheels lightly in brown sugar.
Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, or a cooling rack sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place cooling rack on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake in 350℉ oven for 20 minutes, flipping slices once after 10 minutes.
Once wheels are caramelized and golden brown, pull them from the oven and let them cool completely.
