The cooler weather brings on visions of bundling up by the firepit with a libation that warms the soul. Resident mixologist and business owner, Drew[the]Bartender, recommends this one with homemade grenadine.
3 oz Bulleit Rye or Bourbon
.5 oz Homemade Grenadine
.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
3 dashes Orange Bitters
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir. Strain over a large ice cube. Garnish with an orange twist and maraschino cherry.
Homemade Grenadine:
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Heat juice and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the cinnamon stick. Let sit for 15 minutes.
