These fancy drinks are pretty nice, but I’m not a fan of having to go to the store just to buy obscure items to make only one drink….vanilla nutmeg syrup? egh. maybe if I had nothing to do all day. :l I have a larger alcohol cabinet than most and I am still am unable to make this.
Yes maybe it was a challenge to make but it was well worth it, perfect for the 1st day of fall paired with a fire pit. Bliss!
This cocktail is pure blisssssssss. We tried this and it was…amazing
