Ingredients

3 ounce half-and-half
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 ounce hazelnut liqueur
1 ounce brandy
3-4 drops of orange water
1 pinch cinnamon, additional for garnish
1 tablespoon crushed pistachios

Directions

On a small saucer, drizzle a thin layer of honey; spread the crushed nuts on a second saucer. Turning the martini glass upside down into the saucer with honey, lightly coat the rim. Next, dip the honey-rimmed glass into the nuts to coat the edge of the glass. Set aside.
Fill a shaker with ice, add the first 6 ingredients and shake vigorously to chill and combine thoroughly. Strain the drink into martini glass and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.
