Santa’s Little Helper
Cue the Rolling Stones and let’s get ready for the holidays! But really, this might just be the perfect beverage to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Its creamy texture, rich bourbon flavours and bitter notes are the perfect pairing for cookies or chocolate (salted caramels are amazing with this drink). Free Pour Jenny’s has created this riff on a Boulevardier for this season because this year, even Santa might need a little extra help.
Equipment
- Cranberry Bitters — Free Pour Jenny's
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz bourbon
- 1 oz Campari
- 1 oz sweet vermouth Martini Rosso works here, and you can increase it to 1 1/2 oz if you like it sweeter
- 2 oz cream you can use half & half, or heavy cream for a richer taste
- 4 drops FPJ Cranberry Bitters
- A couple of salted caramels for a “garnish”
Instructions
- Chill the spirits. Place liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake hard.
- Strain into a chilled rocks glass with no ice, and serve with a paper straw and salted caramels on the side. Ho ho ho!
