If there was ever a cocktail made to be sipped while sitting fireside in a log cabin on a brisk winter’s day, it’s this one. Wolf & Ale combines all the best flavors of the season to create a drink that is strong, smooth and rich, while the addition of the ale prevents it from becoming too heavy.
Ingredients
1 oz. William Wolf Pecan-flavored Bourbon Whiskey
1 oz. Mount Gay Black Barrel Barbados Rum
1 oz. apple cider
½ oz. maple syrup
3 oz. BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red Ale
Orange peel for garnish
Method
Combine the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly. Strain into a Trappist-style beer glass over ice. Top off with BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red ale. Garnish with an orange peel and serve.
