2020 has been unpredictable, but one thing that never changes is that merry feeling when one gets to cheers with friends and family over a holiday dinner. When it comes to holiday entertaining, things are undeniably different this month with most major cities in lockdown, but you know what they say: where there's a home bar, there's an opportunity to mix up a drink and have a virtual cheers!
With that in mind, try mixing this refreshing and festive drink that utilizes the winter spice notes–vanilla, toffee et al.–of the barrel-aged Innis & Gunn and Angostura bitters (clove-y!) as well as dark sherry. It's an easy drink to batch, so if you are lucky enough to be able to have some folks over for a holiday dinner, simply multiply this recipe for idyllic punch bowl results!
