Review:

Warming ginger spice and rich butterscotch laced with bourbon, harmonised by apple juice.

History:

Created by yours truly. I revisited this cocktail in February 2024, 20 years after I created it. The 2004 recipe was 45ml (1½oz) Bourbon, 22.5ml (¾oz) butterscotch liqueur, 22.5ml (¾oz) ginger wine, and 60ml (2oz) apple juice.
