Christmas Jumpers!

For all those planning on heading down to The Corpse & Cocktail tonight, please take heed of this gentleman above. He is sporting a magnificent specimen of the kind of attire we would like to see a-plenty of tonight. We bartenders will certainly be abiding by our self-imposed dress code and we expect the patrons of our establishment to follow suit. Remember, you're only silly if you look different...

Here are a couple of the recipes we'll be warming you up with tonight:

Brandy Alexander
Okay, so we'll be serving this chilled, so not exactly warming you up with this one - anyway, your jumper should keep you warm enough.

50ml Martell VSOP

12.5ml White Creme de Cacao

12.5ml Brown Creme de Cacao

25ml half n' half (milk + cream)

Shake ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled coupette.  Sprinkle with freshly-grated nutmeg.

Washington Hot Toddy

So-called due to this recipe being found in the Washington Post.  Sorry the background story isn't more exciting.  Not sure exactly why Mike was reading the Washington Post.  I never asked.

40ml Goslings Black Seal Rum

15ml King's Ginger liqueur

60ml hot water

Build in a teacup or heat-proof glass (with handle...!).  Stir and garnish with a lemon peel.

Hopefully see a good few of you down tonight.  Merry Christmas from the Corpse & Cocktail.
