Eggnog Cream Float
Eggnog Cream Float

Eggnog cocktails don’t have to be boring y’all, especially not with a salted hazelnut cold foam 😳

Together with my friends at @maolamilk, we made a cocktail that you can enjoy to ease into the holiday season. The secret is in the salted hazelnut cold foam made with #MaolaMilk’s rich eggnog combined with hazelnut liqueur and sea salt. This is whipped and then integrated into the base cocktail which has herbal sweet notes from the amaro and Angostura then combined with crème de cacao to give you a rich, yet balanced cocktail.

Did you hear? Its #WorldCocktailDay!

I had an opportunity to receive a bottle of a unique California Brandy by @jeffreymbell (@pdthongkong)and @thomaspastuszak(@thenomadhotel) - two very well known names in the cocktail/wine/spirits industry. Bertoux Brandy (@bertouxbrandy) is meant to be as sippable as it is perfect for any cocktail - So I figured, why not try a riff on a classic Brandy cocktail - The Sidecar!

Peaches 🍑+ Brandy 🥃, name a better combo…

Want to know what makes this one in particular so special?

St-Rémy Signature is the only French brandy that features a double aging process first in charred new oak casks, then in traditional, seasoned brandy oak casks to bring layers of smooth and oaky flavor to the forefront. The two-cask maturation imparts intense spiced notes and verve as well as balance and complexity, which makes for a versatile yet easy-to-drink flavor profile.

You’re going to want to make this one.
