Tasting Room Wake Up Call Recipe

Cold brew coffee gets all gussied up in this version of the Wake Up Call, with Maharaja Syrup and a special Turbinado sugar rim. For a simpler version (pictured), see below.

Glass: Pilsner

In Shaker:
.75 oz Maharaja Syrup (recipe below)
2 oz Half & Half
1.5 oz Vanilla Infusion (recipe below)
1 oz Montanya Oro
3 oz Cold Brew Coffee

Shake and strain. Add ice and 3 drops of coffee bitters. Pour into glass rimmed with a combination of Turbinado sugar, powdered cinnamon and nutmeg (or other favorite spices).

Vanilla Infusion
Place one long pod of Madagascar Vanilla Bean in a bottle of Montanya Platino Rum. Infuse indefinitely (though the “sweet spot” for first use is about four days).

Maharaja Syrup
2 1/2 c water
2 1/2 c natural or organic granulated sugar
2 1/2 T whole cloves
7 whole cinnamon sticks
25 Cardamom pods
2 1/2 t whole black peppercorns

Break all spices into small pieces in a mortar and pestle (do not powder the spices or substitute a powdered version). Place all spices in a dry frying pan and toast until lightly smoking and fragrant (do not burn). Transfer to a sauce pan and add water and sugar. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 45 minutes. Transfer to a jar, refrigerate and chill for 2-3 days before straining off spices.
