When searching for holiday cocktails, who better to advise than the sassy Alabama ladies known as the Drinking Chefs? These hard-cookin', hard-drinkin' down-home sweethearts appreciate a high-quality libation. For Christmas, they've mixed up the perfect treat: their Holiday Cookie Cocktail.
Using brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla (plus, erm, a decent amount of booze), these saucy ladies have created a super-spicy White Russian perfect for holiday tippling. It's kind of what I'd imagine the Dude's relatives would serve him over the Christmas season.
For me, one of the most enticing things about this recipe is the Chefs' idea to crumble actual cookies or biscuits, mix 'em with colorful sugar, and use them to rim the cocktail glasses. In the USA, graham crackers or gingersnaps would be great choices for this step. In the UK, speculoos biscuits would be worth tracking down - my favorite brand is Lotus.
