Warm Up This Winter with a Wisconsin Cocktail

While we all look forward to a slightly more temperate March - and hopefully a snow-melting April - first we have a chilly February to get through. The days are short, the nights are long, and we have some upcoming single (and negative) digits to weather.

No better way to warm your bones than with a hot Wisconsin cocktail!  

We firmly believe there is no wrong season for a refreshing wake-up-warm-up chilled shot of Lone Duck Cinnamon Whiskey. But how about some nice warm drinks that flush your cheeks and reach all the way down into your thick wool socks?

Fire up the stove and grab your mulling spice—it’s time for a:

The Lone Duck Winter Espresso Punch

Lone Duck Winter Espresso Punch

·         8 oz. Lone Duck Cinnamon Whiskey

·         1 bottle dry red wine (Merlot/Cabernet/Pinot Noir)

·         2 lemon peels

·         5 oz. mulling spice

Bring Northern Oasis Lone Duck Cinnamon Whiskey, bottle of wine, lemon peels, and Mulling Spice to a boil. Simmer until highly fragrant or to taste. Strain and serve immediately. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange peel. For best results, lightly toast Mulling Spice prior to adding to the pot. Thanks to Copper & Pines Cocktail Co. for this delicious recipe!

·         Add 1½ oz. Shorewood Whiskey to a mug of Hot Apple Cider

That’s it! All you have to do is get comfy and enjoy your drink. Though, if you have a couple hours to plan and a taste for rich hot chocolate, you gotta try:

Feel free to make it without the Lone Duck for the kids, and add a shot to your own mug!
