Perfect Cocktail Pairings For the 2016 Grammys

Kendrick's album is elusive and complex, with strong jazz influences. Pair it with a smoky version of this jazz-age classic, the Manhattan.

• Loose-leaf tea
• 2 ounces rye whiskey
• 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
• 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
• Ice

On a kitchen pan over medium heat, cook tea until it smokes. Transfer it to the top of a mason jar. Place glass atop smoking tea leaves. Meanwhile stir together whiskey, maple syrup, and bitters in an ice-filled mixing pitcher. Uncover glass and strain cocktail into smoke-filled glass.
