While the drinks at Couloir are undeniably good, the nuts they serve with them make them even better. Paired by what liquor they go better with, these two varieties are both delicious. Start with one and switch to the other if you want to try them both! The drinks are well worth the trip up the gondola and the nuts will make sure the alcohol doesn’t get to your head too quickly.

Ingredients
- 1 pound assorted mixed nuts

Instructions

- Render bacon on stove in a large pot (big enough to add the nuts too), over med-high heat. Stir often to not burn the bacon.
- Once bacon is nicely cooked, add roasted nuts and mix to coat nuts with bacon fat.
- Add Sambal and syrup and keep mixing over heat for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat, add sage leaves and season liberally with kosher salt (it will take a lot of salt).
