There is a reason this drink won Micky’s the mixologist category at 2016 Top Chef. With bourbon, brandy, ginger liquor, orange, rosemary, cinnamon, and star anise, this drink packs the booziest punch you’ll have.

EXPERIENCE: For someone who’s go-to drink is a whiskey ginger, this is like the holy grail of whiskey gingers. It’s the king, and all other whiskey gingers are like the commoners of cocktails. The added lemon juice and simple syrup sweetens up the drink to make a perfectly strong and savory cocktail.

ADVICE: Garnish the drink with rosemary, oranges, and maraschino cherry. The drink is the epitome of spring and the only hope for warmer weather.
