The Woodland Yuletide cocktail, by SennzaFinne, is for those who like the idea of an egg nog cocktail and maybe a little touch of a nostalgic feeling of s’mores even but, you’re looking to expand beyond the usual holiday suspects and lean into the abundance of forest all around us.
The flavor profile: It is herbaceous, complex, slightly sweet, with a hint of bitter. It makes you think “ hmmm…what’s in here”? It’s delicious!
