1
Create a Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the pure cane sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2
Infuse the Bourbon
In a large glass jar or container, pour in the high-proof bourbon. Add the cooled simple syrup, vanilla beans (split in half lengthwise), cinnamon sticks, and dried orange peel. Stir gently to combine.
3
Seal and Steep
Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, up to 1 week for a stronger flavor. Shake gently every couple of days.

4
Strain the Mixture
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.
5
Bottling
Pour the infused bourbon into a clean glass bottle, seal tightly, and label with the date. Store in a cool, dark place.
6
Serve
Enjoy your Horse Soldier Small Batch bourbon neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.
