Cereal Milk Punch

★ Original Cocktail ★

Ingredients

3/4 oz Wild Turkey American Honey Liqueur
1/4 oz Mellow Corn Whiskey
3 oz cereal milk
grated nutmeg for garnish


Directions

Stir ingredients and pour over a large ice cube. Grate nutmeg over the top.


Notes

This is fantastic, but took some trial and error. I first tried a recipe with bourbon, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, which made the drink too boozy and interfered with the sweet, toasted flavor of the milk. Then I found another recipe with bourbon, corn whiskey, and Bärenjäger honey liqueur. Using what I had on hand—and adhering to my preference for less boozy drinks—I first tried mixing just the milk with American Honey liqueur. I could taste the cereal milk, but almost no booze. Just 1/4 oz of that Mellow Corn 100-proof Bottled in Bond corn whiskey does the trick!

American Honey Coffee

Ingredients

1 oz Wild Turkey American Honey Liqueur
3 1/2 oz coffee
float whipped cream on top (see: Irish Coffee for how)
Serve in a traditional Irish coffee glass


Directions

Fill glass with hot water until it heats up, then dump out the hot water. Add liqueur and coffee to glass and gently stir. Float whipped cream on top.


Notes

I first tried the Kentucky Coffee recipe from Spruce Eats and found it way too bitter and boozy. When I made this with just the American Honey liqueur, it was marvelous. The orange notes from the liqueur come through beautifully, and it was sweet enough without any sugar syrup. (This liqueur would also make a super-easy hot toddy I imagine.)
