The Lady's Leg

This week's Mixology Monday was themed around 'humbug', trying to create an anti-Christmas drink. I didn't have any particularly good ideas, but if by anti-Christmas, you mean an escape-your-relatives-boozy type of drink, this one will do it for you. It's named after the iconic lamp from A Christmas Story. This will be my last post until the new year. Merry Christmas!

Lady's Leg
3 oz Crabapple Schapps
1.5 oz Vanilla Vodka
.5 oz Allspice dram
.5 oz Maraschino Liqueur
dashes, mole bitters

Apple Beverage #3

As I've mentioned before, I've been working on a beverage that tastes like apple. For now at least, I'm referring to it as "Apple Beverage". At some point I plan to discuss Apple Beverage #1 and #2, but this is Apple Beverage #3.

Apple Beverage #3
1.5 oz Applejack
.5 oz Allspice Dram
.5 oz Domaine de Canton

This one is less crisp apple and more apple pie. The allspice dram gives it a lot of spice, and the Domaine gives it a bit of a kick. I added a dash of Boker's Bitters to help balance out the sweetness. That helped, but not enough. The allspice dram tends to be a bit overpowering as well.
