Directions
Add all ingredients, but the garnish into a shaker with ice and shake. Strain into a coupe glass. Peel citrus peel and form a point on end for the nose with a knife. Using a straw poke two holes for the eyes. Twist over the glass to express the oils and garnish with the peel.
Cinnamon bark syrup
