Classic Irish Coffee
The first sip of this Classic Irish Coffee will have you hooked! This traditional Irish coffee recipe combines extra strong coffee, brown sugar, and Irish whiskey, then is topped with a layer of gently whipped cream. This simple 4 ingredient recipe is so easy and takes only a few minutes to make. Its smooth and slightly sweet flavor makes it the perfect after dinner drink on Saint Patrick’s Day or anytime of year!
Classic Old Fashioned
This Classic Old Fashioned cocktail is made the traditional way with a sugar cube, Angostura bitters, and rye whiskey, plus one small twist. Orange bitters are added to smooth out the flavor of this cocktail to make it even more deliciously drinkable. Garnished with Amarena cherries and a flamed orange peel, this sophisticated and classic cocktail recipe will make you feel like a professional mixologist!
Turmeric Hot Toddy
My Turmeric Hot Toddy is the perfect drink recipe for cold winter days, or when you are just feeling a bit under the weather. Using fresh lemon, honey, blended scotch whiskey, cinnamon and anti-inflammatory spices, this delicious boozy tea is both comforting and medicinal. In less than 10 minutes, this yummy hot toddy will have you feeling warm and cozy all over! Try the non-alcoholic version in the Pimp My Recipe section of my blog for this recipe.
Cider In The Rye Cocktail
This chilled Cider In The Rye Cocktail is filled with warm spices and autumn flavors, making it the perfect holiday cocktail. Spiced apple cider, rye whiskey, lemon, and my Quick Honey Simple Syrup are combined to create a delicious and festive drink for the holidays (or any time of year). Straight rye whiskey balances the sweetness from the honey and cider, resulting in a well balanced aperitif with subtle sweetness. Garnished with a cinnamon sugar rim and apple, this cocktail is definitely autumn in a glass!
