On the garnish For a dramatic flourish, soak the star anise in overproof vodka while you prepare the drink. Then, before garnishing, light the star anise over the drink. On the drink Says creator Brian Evans: "With this drink, I wanted to pair flavors of bitterness, chocolate and smokiness. I've found that what might seem almost like opposites, all pleasantly attract."
