History
Adapted from a drink created in 2005 by Chuck Taggart, the Los Angeles-based New Orleanian cocktail-loving disc jockey behind GumboPages.com. Chuck reports that after trying the drink for the first time at a 2005 Christmas party, Ted "Dr Cocktail" Haigh declared, "Oh, this is delightful!" adding, "It's like sucking on Santa!"
In French and Portuguese, a réveillon is a long dinner, and often a social gathering, held on the evenings preceding Christmas Day and New Year's Day. In the same way that Americans seem to celebrate St Patrick's Day more fervently than the Irish, Réveillon is particularly celebrated in New Orleans, either due to the city's strong French heritage or it being a damn good excuse for a nosh-up and party.
Réveillon comes from the French word, réveil meaning 'waking' (or 'alarm clock' according to the very literal Google Translate). Why the name? Well, any good party should last through the early hours. Right!
Review
Bittersweet and spicy with underlying warming apple spirit. Originally designed to be served straight-up in a Nick & Nora glass, we think it's better suited to being served on-the-rocks, preferably over a chunk of block ice.

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.

Rich, flavoursome honey replaces sugar syrup in this delicious Daiquiri. The fuller your honey, the more flavoursome your rum should be.

Fruity, yet spirit-forward. Looking at the ingredients, this cocktail should be very sweet. It is rich, but it is surprising how the dilution from...
