An elegant and surprising serve with a dramatic garnish. The Sleight of Hand presents as a classic Old Fashioned style cocktail, but reveals itself with the first sip.

Preparation
- Combine all ingredients into a batched cocktail ahead of time.
- Pour 3 ½ oz into a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir to chill and pour over ice into a double Old Fashioned glass.
