This cocktail is a nice one for autumn and winter. It tastes a bit like drinking an apple pie. It's easy but you have to find the Dram which is the key ingredient- I can't think of a good replacement. If you are lucky enough to live near apple orchards then even better because you can make it w/local fresh cider! This one is dedicated to my friend Becca and I was able to enjoy this one using their local apple cider recently - it was so good! I was inspired to make this one after trying a special cocktail from the Cocktail Guru's over at Orchard City Kitchen this fall - I got close!
Add to a cocktail shaker 1/3 filled w/cracked ice:
- 2 oz St Elizabeth's Allspice Dram
- 4 oz Bourbon (I like Birddog small batch premium aged)
- 3 to 4 oz organic apple cider or juice
- Fresh squeezed juice from a lemon half
Shake and strain into a cocktail glass and garnish w/a lemon wheel or lemon peel. I like the sweetened dried lemon wheels from Trader Joes in the winter.Makes 2 yummy cocktails. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
