Velvet Snowfall

Inspired by a winter's evening and the warmth of holiday festivities, Velvet Snowfall is a sumptuous cocktail that beautifully balances the deep cherry notes of Cherry Heering with the seasonal spices and citrus, creating a drink that exudes comfort and celebration. This cocktail is ideal for sipping by the fireside or as a sophisticated addition to any winter holiday party. Ingredients: - 40ml Bourbon - 20ml Cherry Heering - 30ml Freshly squeezed orange juice - 15ml Lemon juice - 10ml Vanilla syrup - 2 Dashes of chocolate bitters - 1 Egg white - Grated nutmeg (for garnish) - Orange twist (for garnish) - Maraschino cherry (for garnish) Glass: - Coupe glass Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, Cherry Heering, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla syrup, chocolate bitters, and egg white. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and to ensure a smooth consistency. 5. Carefully grate a small amount of nutmeg over the surface of the cocktail for an aromatic touch. 6. Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink and place it as garnish, alongside a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick. The Velvet Snowfall is designed to be a decadent and visually striking cocktail, with the creamy froth on top providing a snowy contrast to the rich, reddish-brown liquid reminiscent of a velvet blanket. Enjoy with friends and family as you toast to the joys of the season!
