Kristen Ortiz is here to bring us the
taste of fall good afternoon afternoon
you - I'm very well thank you
it's whiskey and whiskey just it's not a
summery kind of a thing really maybe oh
yeah what's gonna get you more in the
fall feel than some nice whiskey spiced
cocktails right
okay yes yes we get started we are going
to get started with this beautiful
whiskey this is out of Nashville
Tennessee and you're actually gonna
start with me Mike okay one of the
easiest cocktails you can make is the
Tennessee mule so if you are familiar
with a mule it's usually your spirits
and ginger beer it's going to be your
bourbon whiskey go ahead and do an ounce
and a half or just freehand for you know
what okay go ahead and fill it with your
ginger beer okay which is that not
non-alcoholic not correct
squeeze a lime in there a little bit of
lime okay give her a little stir there
you go thank you
and a garnish and that is one of the
easiest cocktails that you can make yes
okay so I mean people at home can do
this all day long right it's got that
nice little just think ginger the ginger
gives you that little spice a little
hint of spice all right okay we're gonna
start off with these brown sugar cubes
right there okay we'll go three though
the few dashes of your bitters which is
right here okay toss that in and the
fruit that's infused in those Bourbons
because you can I mean you have that
little hint of it even just smelling it
in the bottle like that yes so this one
does is infused with juice so go ahead
and muddle just push
you would not muddle whiskey you're
gonna do two ounces of this okay that's
out of your way
[Music]
coming from there yeah okay and then
we'll fill that with ice there we go and
this is another one that just gets
stirred for probably about 10 to 15
seconds because you want to really let
everything mix really well your ice
starts to melt a little bit mellow out
the cocktail so no mixer in there it's
just the whiskey I mean if you want to
call bitters a mixture it's not really
just an additive but that's really tasty
this is this is like next to the
fireplace kind of it oh absolutely yes
it's gonna warm you up
even though it still has ice cubes yeah
it's a nice toasty little drink for you
absolutely it smells like fall okay well
then I always think about apple cider in
the fall so this is gonna be a really
cool one that we're doing we're doing an
apple cider whiskey situation here so
taking an ounce and a half of your Apple
infused whiskey with real apple juice
mind you going to put in four ounces of
apple cider a dash of cinnamon this is
where your spice comes from and as you
can see I've rimmed this little mug with
some cinnamon and sugar some brown sugar
specks twin liquors your usual spots the
usual suspects and then this is a fun
one to just garnish up go and throw a
cinnamon stick in there maybe some
rosemary a slice of Apple
I love the garnish with rosemary oh yes
and it's like Apple there we go
oh my goodness
shall I taste that for you please yes so
you can actually find a lot of pictures
a lot of recipes on our Instagram almost
like a the sweetness of it with the
apple cider like an almost like a
caramel oh you know with a little bit of
a into it so yeah on the front porches
