Instructions

Description: The Frosted Chestnut Maple Smash is a warming winter cocktail that marries the cozy notes of roasted chestnuts with the natural sweetness of maple syrup, finished with a hint of holiday spice. This drink embodies the essence of a serene winter evening, drawing inspiration from the rich bounty of the colder months. Each sip offers a balance of nutty, sweet, and slightly spicy flavors to keep you warm and festive. Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon - 1 oz chestnut liqueur - 0.75 oz pure maple syrup - 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Pinch of ground cinnamon - 1 egg white (optional for frothiness) - Garnish: candied chestnut and a cinnamon stick Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, chestnut liqueur, maple syrup, lemon juice, bitters, ground cinnamon, and egg white if using. 2. Dry shake the mixture (without ice) to emulsify the egg white and create froth. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously again until well chilled. 4. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with fresh ice. 5. Garnish with a candied chestnut on a skewer and a cinnamon stick for stirring. Glass: Old-fashioned glass Notes: The chestnut liqueur imparts a nutty richness that complements the maple syrup's sweetness, while the bitters and lemon juice provide a balanced acidity and spice. The optional egg white adds a luxurious froth reminiscent of snow, enhancing the drinking experience. Perfect for sipping by the fireplace on a chilly winter night.
