“I think it tastes like Christmas!” Sother Teague, the owner of New York’s famed bar, Amor-y-Amargo, and the inventor of the Sharpie Mustacheonce told The Village Voice. And we couldn’t agree more. Though no single ingredient screams holiday - the finished cocktail beams with perfectly paired flavors of ginger snaps, mulled wine, and dark chocolate treats. There is a coziness to this drink that spirits us to warmly lit nooks of a favorite hideaway - sipping away the chill as the snow piles outside a frost-framed window. Gin and whiskey cocktails aren’t common - so how could one expect that adding two vastly different ingredients would make such a balanced concoction? The first experience of making this cocktail has all the feeling of pulling the bowstrings and unwrapping that present you’ve been giddy-curious about.
