This cocktail is "booze forward" and perfect for sipping slowly by your fire feature or while waiting for trick-or-treaters. The unique bitters and garnishes give this cocktail a wonderful seasonal feel. Though we have released it for Halloween, this would be a wonderful fireside sipper throughout the fall, holiday, and winter seasons.
With all of that said, we hope you enjoy "Smoke & Fire."
