Hello friends.
I hope you are all well and warm and full from the holiday.
Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite days of the year and this year was no exception. In fact, it was maybe the best yet.
And I must say, the icing on the cake was the holiday cocktail that Ryan and I created for the festivities.
Seeing as the entire Holiday Season officially starts when Santa floats by in the Macy’s Day Parade, it was only right that we paid homage to our favorite, most-likely-sauced-each-year anchorman, Al Roker.
So it is with great pride that I present to you:
THE ROKER:
TO MAKE IT:
1.5 oz Stetson Bourbon
1 0z Apple Cider
1 tsp Brown Sugar
Dash of Angostura Bitters
Dash of Cinnamon over ice
SHAKE
Strain into your favorite rocks glass with ice ( and optional, but highly recommended: candied ginger)
Garnish with rosemary sprig and three whole cloves
\\\
You guys.
This drink is so herbaceous and wintry it smells like the christmas of your dreams.
The unique Stetson Bourbon is really the MVP here, so I highly suggest grabbing a bottle.
Might as well buy a hat for the bartender, while you’re at it.
CHEERS!
