The Giving Tree

5.0(16)

This holiday-season cocktail is intended as “a cold version of a type of mulled wine, from Nordic or Germanic tradition,” said its inventor, Mike Ryan, head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago. The red wine lends a nice roundness; the rye gives strength; and the Drambuie provides sweetness and spice, while pulling the drink into Rusty Nail territory. It’s a natural before-dinner sipper.
