A Worn Path

While technically a drink to complement a summer BBQ, we stirred up this tasty cocktail while enjoying some smoked Que from our local restaurant, and it’s late October in Alaska.

The strawberry cordial achieves a pop of flavor with notes of orange peel and pink peppercorns that are perfectly complemented with a nice Scotch whiskey and a few dashes of hopped-up IPA tintcure.
