Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  In celebration, my hubby created the first of his holiday cocktails for the 2018 season.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon
• 1/2 ounce Averna Amaro
• 1/2 ounce Ancho Chili Reyes Liqueur
• 3 dashes blood orange bitters
• dash of cinnamon
• dash of freshly grated nutmeg
• A frozen Bourbon ball (or ice for the drink glass)

TOOLS:

• Mixing cup
• Measuring cup (pony/jigger)
• Bourbon glass (rocks glass)
• ice for shaking the drink in the mixing cup

MIXING THE DRINK:

• put ice in the mixing cup
• put liquid ingredients in mixing cup
• shake vigorously
• place a frozen Bourbon ball in your rocks glass (or use ice if you don’t have a Bourbon ball)
• pour liquid ingredients into rocks glass, while retaining the ice in the mixing cup.

Add a dash of cinnamon and grate a dash of fresh nutmeg.

This holiday drink is the first in a series for the season.  CHEERS!!!
