1
Combine Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the Michter's Bourbon, water, and corn syrup. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing carbonation.
2
Infuse with Oak
Add the oak chips to the bourbon mixture. Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 24 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally to ensure even infusion.

3
Add Flavoring Ingredients
After the infusion period, add the vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, dried orange peel, and sugar to the mixture. Stir well to combine all flavors.
4
Allow to Sit
Let the mixture sit for an additional 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.

5
Strain and Bottle
Once the infusion and flavoring are complete, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bottle. Discard the oak chips and solid flavorings.
6
Seal and Store
Seal the bottle tightly and store in a cool, dark place. The bourbon can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or as a base for cocktails.
