Grate fresh Nutmeg on top.Using amaro is a nice way to spice up a drink instead of making an actual mulled cider.  Experiment with different Amari as you’d like, some like Montenegro will be sweeter but delicious.  Nardini will add a nice espresso / dark chocolate aroma, and others like Fernet Branca might just be too intense and mentholated.

Also try skewering the cranberries and coating with sugar for an extra festive look. 

A ‘Buck’ is a category of cocktails that contain spirit, citrus, and ginger beer.

Prepared as an aperitif, a Negroni is the very definition of balance and simplicity.  Typically a Negroni uses a classic gin, and a Boulvardier cocktail replaces gin with Bourbon.  Tom Cat walks the line of being gin-bourbon so it works perfectly.  Using Tom Cat Gin, adds a deep richness to the classic.

In 1919 a famous Count by the name of Camillo Negroni, whom had spent some time traveling and drinking in the states, returned to his favorite bar in Florence, Italy and asked the bartender to make his favorite drink the ‘Americano’ but to make it more ‘robusto’ and sub out the soda water for gin.  And now we have one of most famous drinks in the world, and a bartender’s favorite.

Combine ingredients into a mixing tin, dry shake without ice, then shake with ice, and double strain into a coupe. Squeeze lemon twist over the drink, then discard the twist. Sprinkle bee pollen through a stencil as garnish.

Combine ingredients in mixing tin, dry shake without ice for 30 seconds, add ice and shake for another 15 seconds, double strain into coupe and garnish a discarded lemon twist and with a spray or drops of the same amaro you used.

Combine ingredients in mixing glass, add ice, stir, strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist. This cocktail also works well served over ice. Bijou means ‘jewel’ in french. The original recipe calls for equal parts, which is pretty intense. Then Dale Degroff in the 90s updated it to 1.5/0.75/0.75. With Barr Hill the proportions given work best! Cheers!
