2 oz TN Whiskey
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz spiced brown sugar simple syrup
2 dashes aromatic bitters

Combine all ingredients in an Irish Coffee mug and stir to combine. Fill the mug with hot water and stir again briefly. Garnish with a clove studded lemon peel.

To make the brown sugar syrup, combine one cup brown sugar with one cup water and one tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Line a fine strainer with cheesecloth or damp paper towel to strain the cinnamon. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
