Here is How the Fire Cocktail is Done
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Cinnamon Whisky
- 4 oz Apple Cider (chilled)
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)
- Ice Cubes
- Cinnamon Stick for garnish
Glassware:
- Old Fashioned Glass
Instructions:
- Chill the Glass: Start by placing your Old Fashioned glass in the freezer to get a frosty chill on it. This will enhance the ‘frosty’ aspect of the drink.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the cinnamon whisky, chilled apple cider, and fresh lemon juice. Depending on your spice preference, add about 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce. Shake gently to integrate the hot sauce well without overwhelming the other flavors.
- Add Ice: Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes to the top.
- Pour and Garnish: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Stir gently with a cinnamon stick to infuse a bit more cinnamon flavor.
- Serve: Garnish with the same cinnamon stick used for stirring. Optionally, you can add a slice of apple or a twist of lemon peel for an extra touch of elegance.
Tasting Notes:
- Flavor: The Frosty Fire offers a unique blend of sweetness from the apple cider, tanginess from the lemon, and a fiery kick from the cinnamon whisky and hot sauce. The cold serve contrasts beautifully with the heat from the cinnamon and hot sauce.
- Appearance: The drink has a golden amber color with a rustic, inviting appearance, enhanced by the frosty glass and the aromatic cinnamon stick.
Serving Suggestion:
