Last week I was browsing Amazon, my shopping addiction, looking for a spiced brown sugar cocktail mixer that was required in a recipe. That is when I came upon "Sweater Weather" by WithCo. This cocktail mixer has raw honey, apple, lemon, rosemary, clove, cardamom, bay leaf, all spice, cinnamon, orange, and cayenne. It's all-natural, no preservatives, no additive, and gluten free, which I prefer in my mixers.
The first sample, I had on ice. I mixed equal parts mixer and bourbon, 3 oz each, using my Jim Beam Honey because I felt the touch of sweet and smooth would go well with the array of spices. Absolutely delicious! I had a second drink and decided to add some club soda just because I felt like a little fizz. It didn't disappoint.
The second time I made the cocktail, I mixed equal parts again, using Buffalo Trace, and warmed in a saucepan. I dropped in a cinnamon stick to stir. This reminded me of a hot apple cider, however it still has it's own unique flavor. It definitely makes me want to sit fireside, cuddled in a blanket, sipping my drink.
So if you like hot apple cider, hot toddies, chai tea, and spiced drinks, I highly recommend this mix. It does have a limited shelf life, about 3 weeks, however if you want fresh and preservative free, that is what you need to expect. Just share the experience with your friends and family, the best way to drink IMO, and the mix will disappear quick - ours was gone in 2 weeks.
Now on the the next - their Honey Sour mix looks enticing!
