Notes
This cocktail was originally drawn up as a vodka-based drink. Over the years, I’ve tried just about everything in place of vodka. If you’re a whiskey drinker, bourbon and cognac would be my two recommendations to supplant the vodka (yes, I know cognac isn’t whiskey). If you’re still on the fence, a nice spiced or funky dark rum would be my next choice. Each spirit creates its own slight festive and flavorful variation.
