Holiday Harvest Sour

This cocktail is inspired by a cognac cocktail called the Thin Pink Line from bartender Sean Fennelly at Milk and Honey in London. However, in my riff called the Holiday Harvest Sour, the peach whiskey and brown sugar syrup gives it a really nice holiday flare and a little more depth, while still being light and incredibly drinkable. The egg white and Orgeat (locally made by Ryan Manning’s company Bardaddy) leave you with an extremely soft of velvety cocktail with just enough fruit in the profile to keep it light. The Holiday Harvest Sour is a frothy dream and really showcases the amazing flavor of the peach whiskey.

Old Notom Road

A warming cocktail which exploits the harmony between Robbers Roost Light Whiskey and the richly aromatic Notom amaro. A great warming fall treat.

Resolution Rum Punch

This rum punch brings together lemon, orange, honey, cinnamon, cream sherry, red wine, and Waterpocket Rum. It is super easy to make, but with ingredients like sherry and cinnamon, this punch is a little more interesting and balanced than your basic rum punch. I love the classic flavors of the citrus, but the sherry, lemon, and honey really pull this punch together. Topped with bubbles, it’s a perfect cocktail for pre-batching and serving to a large group.

Old World Holiday

The Old World Holiday cocktail is a straight forward, boozy beast that delivers a punch of flavor. Any whiskey lover will enjoy this concoction. The spice of the Oread and sweet of the orange juice and cinnamon simple syrup really add some complex notes, but keep it approachable. It goes down smooth, and the oils from the salami add more flavor as you drink. Finish the cocktail off with the salty olives, and you have full-balanced meal.

Salt Lake Snow Maiden

This holiday cocktail is great year round - but perfect for a cold day. The Snow Angel Kummel is so soft and well-rounded, that I wanted to add other flavors that would keep that softness front and center. The spiced cider adds some sweetness, and the honey simple syrup keep the flavors balanced. The port float really pulls this cocktail together add depth and a dry finish.

The Majestic

The Majestic cocktail brings together Waterpocket’s spectacular cocoa and rum with tart cherry and fresh orange, creating a super balanced flavor profile that is much more earthy and savory than sweet. With cedar bitters and a holiday simple syrup created with cranberry and pomegranate, this cocktail is perfect to pre-batch and serve at any holiday party––before, or after a meal. Garnished with fresh thyme, the earthy aroma of chocolate and orange is an experience alone. This is a unique cocktail, sure to get your party guests talking.
