This post is a little different from what you’ve come to expect from me. Yes, there will be more about our boy Nitro in the very near future, but I thought that I’d share another side of who I am and what makes me tick.

A Foot of Snow on the Grill

So what does a Kentucky-bred, Florida-raised, FSU (Florida State University) alum, who now lives in Michigan do when the snow keeps falling and there’s a minimum of a foot of the fluffy stuff on the ground? Well, I try to figure out a new bourbon recipe (hot of course).

Snowing – STILL!

This is what I call …

 

Hot Bourbon Ball

 

Put the kettle on

Get the Cocoa into the Mug

Put dry hot chocolate (your favorite kind) into a mug

Add the bourbon

Measure in 1.5 oz. Devil’s Cut bourbon (I prefer this bourbon for this recipe as it has an assertive flavor that doesn’t get hidden with the other ingredients.)

1 oz Dark Creme de Cocoa

1 oz Amaretto

Stir!

Stir all together to fully incorporate

Add the Cream

Add 1 oz Heavy Cream

 Stir

 

Add the Hot Water

Add the hot water

YUMMY!!!

Top with whipped cream (you could also add chocolate curls if you wished)

 

Enjoy!
