In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, add bourbon, almond milk, vanilla extract, and simple syrup. Shake for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain over a rocks glass filled with ice. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Notes
You can use store-bought simple syrup or make the syrup ahead of time to save on prep time.Store extra simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.Other non-dairy milk can be used in place of almond milk, but it will alter the flavor slightly. Oat milk adds a nutty flavor while coconut milk adds a coconut flavor. Separation is natural after the drink has set for some time, but a quick stir reintegrates it.Adapted from NYT Cooking.
