Culinary cocktails are Beattie’s specialty, and this Asian-inspired cocktail doesn’t disappoint. The base is a made-from-scratch syrup infused with Szechuan peppercorns, anise, cinnamon, cloves and fennel, which beautifully complements the mandarin-orange vodka. Garnishes borrowed from the kitchen add the finishing touch.

¾ oz. Chinese Five Spice Syrup (recipe follows)
¾ oz. Hangar mandarin vodka
¾ oz. unflavored vodka
2-3 mandarin orange segments
¾ oz. lemon juice
2 kaffir lime leaves, slivered
