Instructions

Invigorate your senses with this comforting and aromatic cocktail. Orchard Embrace is a warm and inviting libation, perfect for those chilly evenings or festive gatherings. It marries the classic autumnal flavors of apple and clove with the rich warmth of whiskey, crowned with a hint of fresh cinnamon and the brightness of orange. Ingredients: - 6 oz apple cider - 2 oz whiskey (bourbon or a smooth rye works nicely) - 1/4 tsp whole cloves - Fresh cinnamon stick - Orange slice for garnish Instructions: 1. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider and whole cloves. Warm the mixture over medium heat, but be careful not to let it boil, as you want to maintain the subtle flavors of the apple. 2. Meanwhile, preheat your mug by filling it with hot water and letting it sit for a minute before emptying it. This will ensure your cocktail stays warm for longer. 3. While the cider is heating, use a fine grater to create a small pile of fresh cinnamon. 4. Once the apple cider is warm and infused with the clove aroma (about 3-4 minutes), remove it from heat. Strain the cider into your preheated mug to remove the cloves. 5. Add the whiskey to the strained cider and stir gently to combine. 6. Take the fresh cinnamon stick and grate a dusting of cinnamon over the top of the drink for a burst of flavor and a delightful aroma. 7. Cut a fresh slice of orange and perch it on the rim of the mug for a beautiful presentation and a zesty scent. 8. Serve immediately, holding the mug with both hands to warm your fingers as you sip and savor the Orchard Embrace. Glass: - Traditional ceramic mug or an Irish Coffee glass mug, preheated for warmth.
