2 oz Bourbon (Infinity Bottle)
1 oz Sweet Potato Syrup (see below)
1/4 oz Cointreau
1/4 oz Lemon Juice
Shake everything with ice and strain into a chilled Old Fashioned glass with a large rock of ice. Garnish with a strip of Candied Bacon.
Sweet Potato Syrup
2 tablespoons mashed sweet potato flesh
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the sweet potato in a roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil and roast until soft in the center, 1 hour.
Cut open the sweet potato and scoop out the desired amount of flesh and eat the rest, sweet potatoes are good!
Pour any leftover juices from the roasting pan into a small saucepan.
Add 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato, the sugar, the nutmeg and cloves into the saucepan.
Bring to a slow simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking or burning, until the sugar and sweet potatoes have completely dissolved into the syrup.
Cool uncovered before straining it into a clean, glass container.
Add a bit of Vodka to help preserve it refrigerated and use within a month or so.
