Honey Crisp Mountain Cocktail
- Details
This ice-cold cocktail still has warmth, thanks to a bounty of spicy autumn flavors. A mix of whiskey and apple brandy form the base of this drink, which we’ve paired with a honey-sweetened batch of Mediterranean Mountain Tea. With every sip you’ll taste different herbs like marjoram, sage, rosemary, and mint, which cut through the bite of spirits. For a final touch of fall, we garnished the drink with a Cinnamon Toast Spice rim.
