The Winter Cocktail

The winter cocktail is a classic recipe from the first part of the 1900s and it has been adapted for modern spirits.

It is a wonderfully warming drink—even if it is served cold—and is one of those gems lost to time that is absolutely worth the reintroduction.

Originally, it used a ginger brandy, but these are relatively scarce now. Domaine de Canton or any of the other ginger liqueurs are perfect substitutes. If you cannot find pimento dram, another allspice liqueur will do. If you like, this is also a perfect drink to transform into a hot cocktail.
