During the colder months when cold and flu season is upon us, it becomes crucial to give our immune systems a much-needed boost. Winter calls for fortification of both mind and body. Whidbey Island Distillery Loganberry Liqueur, with its vibrant and fruity flavor, pairs perfectly with Heritage Distilling Co. Cocoa Bomb Chocolate Whiskey. Loganberries are rich in pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), iron, folate, vitamins E and K, as well as essential B vitamins like thiamin and riboflavin. When combined with the decadent antioxidant properties of chocolate and the herbal undertones of the Mexican wormwood in the Licor Corta Espantos, you create a drink that not only delights the senses but also supports well-being. The addition of egg whites adds a generous amount of protein, zinc and selenium while providing a velvety texture. Shake it all together, garnish with shaved dark chocolate, a hint of orange oil and a dash of bitters, and you have an immune-boosting elixir that will keep you going throughout the winter season.
