KING CAKE OLD FASHIONED
Abigail Gullo, the head bar chef at [SoBou](http://www.sobounola.com/) in New Orleans, shared this recipe exclusively with Epicurious. In keeping with Mardi Gras tradition, Gullo occasionally sneaks a plastic baby (like those found in actual King Cakes) into the glass when she makes this drink at Sobou. "I tell people if you get the baby, you have to buy the next round." At home, another option is to freeze the baby into the large ice cube that chills the cocktail.

Cool the syrup then remove and discard the cinnamon sticks. DO AHEAD: Cinnamon syrup can be made ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
- Place 1 (2 1/2-inch) ice cube in a rocks glass. Add the rum, the bitters, and 1/2 teaspoon (1/4 ounce) cinnamon syrup, and stir until well chilled. Squeeze the orange peel over the drink, making sure the oils fall into the glass, then thread the peel, along with the raisins, onto a cocktail pick. Place the pick in the drink and serve.
