Holiday cocktail idea – Pins and Needles
As a bartender and lover of hot cocktails, I have a few easy-to-make-at-home favorites. Whether you’re having friends, family, or a combo platter, hot cocktails make everyone warm and fuzzy.
Pins and Needles
This is a cocktail I created for Colorado Cocktail Project a couple years ago. It was in the finals and had the competition not been in June, I may have had a little more luck winning. This is Colorado in a hot cocktail:
1 1/2 oz Leopold’s Small Batch Whiskey (or Maryland Rye)
1/2 oz Leopold’s Three Pins Alpine Liqueur
1/2 oz Earl Grey Syrup
1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Fill with hot water
Garnish: lemon or orange peel
Earl Grey Honey Syrup: 1/2 cup Colorado clover honey, put in pot on high heat burner until you see large bubbles. Add 4 cups room temp water and add 4 bags of your favorite Earl Grey tea and let steep for 5 minutes.
