MSA Pure Spirits 2017 Q4 - 26

BEST PARTIES
1 ounce lime juice

well with the cold of wintertime. Offer your guests
whites like oak-aged Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer
or Riesling; reds such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
or Malbec; and a quality tawny port or ice wine.
Mulled wine blends this year-round favorite with
liquors and seasonal spices.
Wintertime beers tend to be darker, like the long
nights of winter, made with dark malts. They may be
malty-sweet, with flavors like dried fruit, molasses,
toffee, and nuts. Seasonal beers often include holiday spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Look for a
classic barleywine, Belgian strong dark ale, or a barrel-aged stout. At sixth in the nation for the number
of craft breweries, Michigan has no shortage of craft
beers to stock your party, including Founders Backwoods Bastard, Bell's Winter White Ale, and New
Holland Cabin Fever.
Similarly suitable for serving during the winter are
spiced meads, like a B. Nektar Meadery metheglin.
Though holiday meals may focus on long-time
family favorites-typically sans alcohol-it's easy to
infuse a bit of spirit in desserts, including a few traditional favorites like bourbon balls, pecan pie, rum
cake, and that brunt of seasonal jokes, fruitcake.

Mix ingredients in a highball glass with ice. Garnish with
a lime slice. (For a simple Rum & Coke, omit the lime
juice.)

Boulevardier
1 ounce Campari
1 ounce Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth
1 ounce Ezra Brooks or Rebel Yell bourbon
Mix well and serve in a martini glass. Garnish with an
orange slice.

Manhattan
2 ounces Templeton Rye whiskey
1 ounce Antica Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Mix well and serve in a martini glass. Garnish with an
orange slice.

EXPAND THE ALCOHOL OPTIONS
Embrace the spirit of the season with wine, beer,
and alcohol-infused food.
Full-bodied whites, reds and fortified wines pair

TO THE NOSE, IT'S LEATHER WITH HINTS OF CITRUS & OAK.

ON THE TONGUE, IT'S SPICY RYE WITH SOFT CHERRIES FADING TO SMOKED CARAMEL.

AND A MEMORABLE FINISH, RICH WITH BROWN SUGAR AND KENTUCKY TRADITION.
ENJOY.
