You’ll forget the bout of cold we’re experiencing with the first sip. It contains Old Ezra 7 year Bourbon, Laird’s Bonded AppleJack, Laphroaig 10 year spritz, sugar, and Boutique Bitters.

EXPERIENCE: Smoky and woodsy, the drink certainly has a kick and shouldn’t be rushed. The smell of the orange wafts towards you with each lift of the glass. Despite the name, the drink avoids being heavy, the mix of ingredients preventing any one becoming too overpowering.

ADVICE: Prepare to pace yourself and enjoy this concoction. I highly suggest low lighting and flavorful jazz playing, as there was while I enjoyed mine. Add in good company to avoid the temptation of quickening your pace, and you’ll have the start of a great evening.
