History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Santiago Michelis at Alcoholic Architecture in London, England.

My cocktail is inspired by a winter night in a cabin surrounded by snow, sitting in front of the fireplace and reading. The flavours and aromas that meet in this drink are the ones that can transport me there.
Santiago Michelis, 2015

I hated to dump the Scotch (I feel like it could've been left in), but definitely enjoyed this. Oddly on the sweet side even though the syrups specs wouldn't suggest as much.

Delicious, but a bit too viscous for my taste... The cinnamon in the finish paired with the rosemary oils left on my stache make for a xmas-y perfume pervading my snout. The honey and cognac gradually emerge in the aftertaste... Worth trying. (6 Jan 2024, 8:41a)
