Winter Aperitif / Rudolph the Reindeer

WINTER APERITIF / 

RUDOLPH THE REINDEER

Recipe given by a guest

Winter is still here to embrace yourselves! This cocktail's recipe was introduced to me by a guest, who made it during the Christmas season. Even with Xmas gone (and no "name" for it), I liked the recipe and decided to make it as well! Mainly available in Finland (?) due to one of its main ingredients:

• 2 cl gin
• 2 cl cointreau
• 2 cl mulled wine extract
• tonic water (quality)
• wintery spices/herbs to garnish

Stir the first three ingredients with ice, strain into an OF - glass, top it off with tonic water and garnish. Add a straw and you're ready to go!

This cocktail is sweet. Using a longer stir with ice is highly recommendable before pouring it into the glass. Spiciness, orang-y flavors and with a good bitter-ish aftertaste I really enjoyed this cocktail. The best part being, for the winter season it fits like a glove.
