This Belichick Cocktail was created by the Rivalries Sports Bar in Portland, ME. You have to plan well for this drink, just like our favorite coach for every game, and infuse the bourbon for at least 24 hours before you mix this. 

STEP 1: INFUSE BOURBON WITH COFFEE AND FIG

Add the coffee and the figs to the liter of bourbon and let it infuse for 24 hours. Strain bourbon through coffee filters.

STEP 2: MAKE BROWN SUGAR SIMPLE SYRUP

Combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.

STEP 3: MIX THE BELICHICK COCKTAIL

Muddle cherry, orange slice, simple syrup and bitters in a big rocks glass. Add ice and then the bourbon. Stir for 20 seconds then add a little more ice and top with soda water.
