Christmas Cake
Christmas CakeRecipe from @the_crusty_rim_cocktailsFrom Instagram Definitely a very festive style drink. And I get to use the Cherry Heering.I think this drink would vary with each type of whisky/whiskey you used. Monkey Shoulder it is tonight here.

Boulevardier

Recipe from Riley Joseph Murphy VogelTiki Recipes- Facebook group. We had our neighbours over for a gay afternoon of drinks and chat.

Iron Ranger
Recipe by Raised by WolvesAgain, from Imbibe Magazine A seemingly innocent drink, Raised by Wolves uses Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, so high ABV, but A, I don’t have that, and it’s known for its caramel tones and smoothness. I used Rittenhouse, also high ABV, also smooth. A delicious drink again highlights of Falernum. Smoky nuttiness…
