Ingredients
  

THE OLD INFATUATION
Massa Syrup
  • ½ tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 6 cardamom pods
  • 2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
  • 16 whole cloves
  • 5 whole allspice berries
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon ground mace

Method
 

The old infatuation
  1. Build in a mixing glass, stir, and strain into a lowball with one ice cube. Some times it'll go into a double rocks with a large-format sphere ice cube, garnish with an expressed lemon twist.
Massa syrup
  1. For the syrup, take all of the components except for the brown sugar, water, and the mace and lightly toast them in a shallow pan until they start to release their essential oils and become aromatic. Transfer the spices to a pot where you'll add the remaining ingredients and cook until you get a gentle rolling boil. When you achieve that, transfer to another container and put into an ice bath.
  2. Let it sit in the ice bath for 2 hours and strain through a cheesecloth or chinois.
