Barbeque-Bourbon Nuts

We recently purchased the book, “John Wayne, The Official Cocktail Book”, by Andre Darlington and immediately had to try the Barbecue-Bourbon Nuts with our evening cocktail, Hoiles' Man O'War. I’ve changed the recipe slightly by adding more spices for an extra kick. The nuts look like they are burned, but that is the caramelized sugar and spice coating that makes the nuts delicious.
