NOIR & SPICE

Stir all the ingredients in a mixing glass over ice until the flavors blend harmoniously. Then strain over a large ice cube (or several small ones) into a pre-chilled tumbler glass.
Squeeze a fresh orange zest over the glass to release the essential oils and add to the glass as a garnish. Optionally, a dried orange slice or a cinnamon stick can be added to emphasize the wintry character.
