This hot cocktail was the perfect addition to the winter menu for those days when you need a little warmup.

Glass:

Fluted Irish Mug

In Pyrex:

1 oz honey syrup
.75 oz ginger
1/2 lemon

Fill with hot water above the 4 oz line and heat in the microwave for one minute. Add to glass with:

1 oz Topsider Infusion (see recipe below)
1 oz Oro

Sprinkle with cayenne and garnish with an orange twist. For a more aromatic experience, ignite the orange essence as our founder and owner Karen Hoskin does in this video from our winter menu tasting (you may a few very impressed staff in the background!):

Topsider Infusion:

1 Long slice of orange peel
2 Cinnamon sticks
1 Vanilla bean
1 Bottle Oro

Grind cinnamon sticks coarsely with mortar and pestle. Add all ingredients to Oro and infuse for three days. Strain and decant and refrigerate for up to 30 days.

We love hot cocktails during the winter, and Karen made a point of adding quite a few of them to Volume II of Elevated Cocktails: Craft Bartending with Montanya Rum. It’s a great addition to any recipe collection!
