Directions
- Heat an Anolon Nouvelle Copper Luxe Casserole over medium heat, and toast the cinnamon stick and whole clovers for approximately 5 minutes or until aromatic.
- Turn heat to low and add butter, orange zest, and lemon zest. Melt butter until liquefied, being careful not to scorch it. After the butter is completely liquefied, remove from heat.
- Add bourbon to the butter mixture and cover the casserole. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer to refrigerator for 48 hours.
- Remove the bourbon from the pan, leaving the chilled and hardened butter behind. Strain the buttered bourbon through a coffee filter and store in a glass jar or bottle.
- Brew 32 ounces of strong coffee. While coffee is brewing, heat the buttered bourbon on the stovetop in the pan. Add coffee to the hot buttered bourbon, then add sugar and dissolve.
- Ladle the beverage into preheated coffee cups for you and your guests. Top with whipped cream, grated cinnamon, and orange zest.
