Dale Lucas created this in honor of the forthcoming Dune movie from Denis Villeneuve. He is a fantasy/sci fi nerd and author, but also a home bartender. The spice syrup he used here was homemade and is basically a Demerara simple syrup steeped with cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, allspice berries, star anise, peppercorns, a vanilla bean and some orange zest. (Happy to provide a proper recipe if required.)
