Crimson Haze

Description: Crimson Haze is an indulgent, spiced, and nutty cocktail that balances the warmth of spiced rum with the sweet, hazelnut notes of Frangelico. The addition of zesty orange juice and a hint of aromatic bitters rounds out the profile, with a splash of ginger beer adding a sparkling kick that awakens the palate. A touch of simple syrup sweetens the deal, and a cinnamon stick garnish infuses the drink with a subtle spiciness as it is enjoyed.
