Instructions

Description: Evoking the warmth of memories and the chill of ghostly visions, the Spirit of Christmas Past is a hauntingly delicious cocktail that captures the essence of Charles Dickens's timeless tale. With a blend of comforting winter spices and a hint of spectral smoke, this drink is perfect for sipping on a cold December evening as you reflect on bygone holidays. Ingredients: - 2 oz Spiced Rum - 1/2 oz Strega (an Italian herbal liqueur representing the mystical element of the story) - 1 oz Apple Cider (to symbolize the past, reminiscent of childhood comforts) - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for a touch of sour to balance the sweetness of nostalgia) - 1/4 oz Maple Syrup (for a hint of sweetness and tradition) - 1 Dash of Angostura Bitters (for complexity and depth) - A sprig of Fresh Rosemary (for aroma and to represent the evergreen nature of memories) - Cinnamon Stick (for garnish and a nod to the festive season) - Smoked Cinnamon (to add the element of the spectral and the evanescent nature of the past) Glass: Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the spiced rum, Strega, apple cider, lemon juice, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters with ice. 2. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 3. Take the fresh rosemary sprig and smack it between your hands to release the aromatic oils, then rub it around the rim of the Old Fashioned glass. 4. Fill the glass with ice cubes. 5. Strain the cocktail over the ice in the prepared glass. 6. Carefully char a cinnamon stick using a kitchen torch or lighter until it smokes, and immediately place it into the glass as garnish, to infuse the cocktail with a smoky essence. 7. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked cinnamon over the top to heighten the sensory experience. Serve immediately, inviting imbibers to sip and reminisce about their own Christmas past.
