Rosemary's Baby

I came up with this cocktail over the weekend when I decided to experiment with the bourbon.
A custom cream reduction tames the big kick.
(Thanks to JR for coming up with the name. All I had was "off-the-hook bourbon cocktail.")

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. bourbon
4 oz. OJ
1 Tbs Rosemary, vanilla, & black pepper-infused cream
fresh rosemary, rinsed & patted dry

Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add OJ and cream and shake to blend.
Add bourbon and swirl or stir to mix in.
Pour into old-fashioned with light ice.
Garnish with rosemary.
Be prepared to repeat this cycle several times if you share this with others. Be prepared to do it at least once more if you're drinkin' solo (ya boozer).
If you're less lazy than me, a bit of orange peel would be a nice addition to the garnish.
