2 oz Nelson Brothers Classic Bourbon
.5 oz lemon juice
.75 oz apple cider reduction
1 dash aromatic bitters
2 drops saline
Egg white

Dry shake all ingredients to emulsify egg white. Add ice and shake again. Double strain into a chilled coupe. Express an orange peel over the drink and discard. Top with freshly grated cinnamon.

Apple Cider Reduction
