- 20 cloves
- 1/4 cinnamon stick

Reviews
Very smooth
Wow! This recipe is fantastic! We served it on Christmas Day, to avoid the issue of folks asking for whatever cocktail pops into their heads (previous requests have been caipirinhas or whiskey and Mexican coke — I have a formidable liquor cabinet but don’t always have every mixer). We used bourbon (Makers) because we thought that rye would have too much bite for our guests’ tastes. Even though Makers is a sweeter bourbon, the cocktail was perfectly balanced. We mixed up a whole pitcher so everyone could serve themselves, and it disappeared way too soon. A delicious way to preserve sanity! We’re prepping another bottle of bourbon as I type this.
We infused bourbon instead and use it in delicious, wintry bourbon and gingers. Yummy!!
I made it with the listed ingredients, and it’s great.
Same. It looks like he’s pouring the same amount of orange and hazelnut liquor.
I thought I heard on the show that this drink contains hazelnut liqueur? Which would make sense – what do these other ingredients have to do with squirrels?
