MH Holiday Cocktail Contest Winner

Published by

Congratulations to Brian M.! His “Visions of Sugar Plums” cocktail had us seeing visions—it was THAT good. The blend of ingredients brought the overall flavor to a higher level and made a really elegant drink with a gorgeous orange color. We’ll definitely be making this classy cocktail for our next holiday get together.

Want to make this wonderful winter cocktail at home? Here’s the recipe:

Visions of Sugar Plums

2 oz. McKenzie Rye
1 oz. Ginger Liqueur (such as Domaine de Canton)
3/4 oz. Aperol (Italian bitter/orange liqueur)
Dash of Simple Syrup
Dash of Fee Brothers Plum Bitters (or Angostura, if not avail)
Dash of Ground Cloves

Shake above ingredients over ice and strain into Martini Glass.
Garnish with Orange Peel and serve.

PS—Stay tuned for news on our tailgating throwdown…
