The Kentucky Christmas Cocktail Makes a Festive Comeback
A classic cocktail called the Kentucky Christmas has returned to the spotlight, thanks to bartender Julian Solorzano. This quick and rich drink takes just one minute to prepare. It’s designed to serve one person and packs around 300 calories per serving. The recipe starts with 2.50 ounces of Woodford Reserve Bourbon as the base. To this, 1 ounce of Mancino vermouth chinato and 0.25 ounces of Luxardo maraschino liqueur are added. Two dashes of Dale DeGroff’s pimento aromatic bitters complete the mix.
All ingredients are stirred with ice until well chilled. The mixture is then strained into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. A Bordeaux cherry is placed on top as the final garnish.
The Kentucky Christmas offers a simple yet flavourful option for bourbon lovers. With its short preparation time and balanced ingredients, it’s an easy choice for a festive or evening drink. The cocktail’s warmth and depth come from its carefully measured components.
