You know when you create a recipe and you know it’s going to be a staple during the holidays? Yeah… this is it. I’ve melded the flavors of a traditional mulled cider together with a classic Old Fashioned. The result is a bourbon forward holiday sipper that you’ll want to keep sipping throughout the rest of the holiday season. You’re going to want to try this one out for sure, cheers y’all

Together with amarolucano1894, I’ve created a recipe thats sure to warm you right up in the coldest of nights. The recipe combines bourbon, cinnamon syrup, lemon juice and the bold flavors in Amaro Lucano to create a wonderfully balanced flavor that is softened by an egg white (or aquafaba) foam. This one was a treat to make and drink and hope you’ll do the same. Cheers y’all.

I’m excited this new year to create a cocktail recipe featuring this unique whiskey. If you’re unfamiliar with Legent, it starts as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon with the Beam classic family recipe and is aged in wine and sherry casks before being blended with more Kentucky Straight Bourbon by Shinji Fukuyo, fifth-ever Chief Blender of Suntory, the founding house of Japanese whisky. The result is a perfectly balanced yet complex and layered whiskey with a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish.
The good news for y’all is that you can get it NOW on via www.drizly.com! Check out my stories for the link. Hope y’all enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
I wanted to follow the basic Boulevardier recipe, but create a tropical flair. The coconut-infused aperitif takes the bitter component and just rounds it out with a little sweetness and richness. The [Pimm's] replaces sweet vermouth, by pulling away some of those herbal notes, and replacing them with dried fruit flavors.

Up next on the #BartendersAndBoulevardiers series with @cooperscraft is Michael Leslie (@mikeyveo) with a Boulevardier riff that accentuates some of the natural honey notes inherited from the unique Coopers’ Craft barrels by incorporating local honey into the recipe. Michael was also kind enough to lend us a few words that inspired his recipe:
“Once there was a bee who flew up beside me and said,
‘Hey man, let me show you something.’
With a sweet honey pass and a dip in my glass I knew that little bee wouldn’t sting”
