Place a piece of paper over half of the glass before dusting the surface with freshly ground nutmeg.

This winter cocktail features Cardinal's Nocino and Lakehouse Rum.

To make demerara syrup: In a saucepan, heat a 1:1 ratio of water to demerara sugar or Sugar in the Raw, stirring occasionally until dissolved. Allow to cool before using; store leftover syrup in the refrigerator.
