Fercullen Spicy Sour – a festive cocktail for the holidays
As the winter chill sets in, there’s no better way to warm up than with a festive cocktail that embodies the spirit of the season.
Introducing the Fercullen Spicy Sour, a delightful creation that combines the rich, smooth flavours of Fercullen Falls Irish Whiskey with a zesty twist, perfect for any holiday gathering.
Fercullen Irish Whiskey, renowned for its perfect blend of 50% malt and 50 % grain and smooth taste, serves as the heart of this cocktail.
The Fercullen Spicy Sour brings together the whiskey’s warm vanilla notes with a vibrant blend of fresh lemon juice, a hint of honey, and a dash of aromatic bitters. The magic ingredient? A touch of winter spice that adds a warming kick, making this drink an instant favourite for the colder months.
To prepare the Fercullen Spicy Sour, start by combining 50ml of Fercullen Irish Whiskey, 25ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 15ml of honey syrup in a shaker with ice. Add a dash of bitters and a pinch of winter spice – think cinnamon or nutmeg. Shake well and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra festive touch.
Whether you’re hosting a Christmas party or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, the Fercullen Spicy Sour is the perfect companion. Cheers to a warm and wonderful holiday season!
