Regalo di Nonne aka Grandmas Gift
Bourbon, the nectar of the gods, says me!
This drink pays homage to the many old fashioned styled drinks I have consumed since Bourbon was allowed to grace my lips. This time of year I aim to bring forward all of the fall flavors that I hold close to my heart.
Honey and Bourbon have a seamless marriage that just compliments each other. Mix that with a bit of baking spice and unctuous from the artemesia and you have grandma's baked goods in your cup that warms you all the way through.
So grab a glass and throw a blanket down by the fire and let this winter remedy soak into your soul.
