Alchemist

• 2 oz Korbel Brandy
• 1 oz Irish whisky
• 1 oz 360 Madagascar Vanilla Vodka
• .25 oz Original Cinn Cinnamon Schnapps

Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice. Shake well and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

This has a very nice heavy flavor, with a bit of sweetness on the end, and just a little bit of bite.

Cheers!
