Campfire whiskey cocktail

As the summer winds down and the crisp fall air takes over, there's nothing more quintessential than a toasted s'more...which is why I crafted this delicious cocktail reminiscent of a campfire with complex elements folding in each ingredient - chocolate, marshmallows, and Graham Crackers.

Campfire whiskey cocktail

1. Pour Ellington Reserve Slated Caramel Whiskey, whiskey, chocolate bitters and toasted marshmallow simple syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until combined. Set aside.
