A few years ago you couldn’t have paid me to order Bourbon anything.  And while wine will always be my drink of choice, as of late I’ve been crushing hard on this brown liquor.  Of course, in the spring and summertime, I turn to bourbon for my Mint Juleps and Tupelo Honey.  But the perfect winter cocktail?  My Spiced Orange & Rosemary Bourbon.  There’s just something about bourbon that warms you down to your toes, and with this cold front, my toes can use all the warmth they can get.

Vibrant and full-bodied, this spiced orange bourbon cocktail packs the punch I’ve come to appreciate and the combination of citrus spiced orange and rosemary has quickly become one of my favorite, yet simple, flavor infusions.  This time of year it’s like comfort in a glass!  

To serve, I simply pour over round ice molds, add a dash of my spiced orange syrup, a fresh orange peel, a rosemary sprig, and cheers!  It’s a dangerously easy drink to down (don’t say I didn’t warn you). But for the record, I think it’s completely reasonable to request that you make yours a double!  Truly, MKR

    Greetings!
    I would love to make the Spiced Orange & Rosemary Bourbon cocktail. However, I can not find on your website the recipe for the spiced orange syrup. Any chance you can share it?

    Thanks!
