Christmas Bourbon Sling
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas with this Christmas Bourbon Sling! A traditional cocktail but with a little Cleveland Whiskey twist. Sling cocktails are usually made with Nutmeg, hot or cold water, sugar, and Gin. Here, we substituted the Gin with our delicious Christmas Bourbon. It pairs perfectly with the freshly grated Nutmeg, sending your taste buds into a holiday frenzy. To counterpart all of those Christmas baking spices we added Orange Liqueur and Maple Syrup to sweeten. Be sure to shake a few more seconds than usual to get the maple syrup mixed through roughly.
We knew we had to add one more ingredient to this Sling, it was just a little too heavy for our liking. In comes the Clearly Canadian Orchard Peach Sparkling Water! It really helps freshen up the cocktail with its Citric Acid, Pure Cane Sugar, and all-natural peach flavor! Garnish with an orange twist and you’re ready to enjoy your Christmas Bourbon Sling!
