1
Peel the Oranges
Carefully peel the oranges, ensuring to get as much of the zest as possible without including the white pith. Set the peels aside.
2
Prepare Sugar Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3
Infuse the Peels
Add the orange peels to the warm sugar syrup. Allow the mixture to steep for about 30 minutes, then strain out the peels using a fine mesh strainer.

4
Combine Alcohols
In a large glass jar or bottle, combine the strained orange syrup, neutral spirits, and cognac. Stir gently to mix.
5
Add Flavor Enhancements
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the mixture, then add the whole vanilla bean, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
6
Seal and Shake
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and shake gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

7
Let it Infuse
Place the jar in a cool, dark place and let it sit for at least 1 month. Shake the jar gently every week to help the flavors meld.
8
Strain and Bottle
After 1 month, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove solids. Transfer the liquid to a clean bottle.
