Blizzard

Ingredients

Instructions

The Blizzard cocktail is a delightful and refreshing drink that combines the robust flavors of bourbon with the tartness of cranberry juice and the brightness of lemon juice, all balanced with a touch of sweetness from simple syrup. Served over a spherical ice cube and garnished with a lemon slice, it's a visually appealing and delicious choice.

Instructions:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

2. Add the bourbon, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.

3. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the ingredients and mix them thoroughly while also creating a nice froth.

4. Place a spherical ice cube in a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass.

5. Strain the shaken cocktail mixture over the spherical ice cube in the glass.

6. Garnish the drink with a lemon slice, either floating on top of the ice or perched on the rim of the glass.

7. Optionally, you can add an additional decorative touch, such as a twist of lemon peel or a cranberry garnish.

The Blizzard cocktail is a delightful balance of flavors. The bourbon provides a robust and oaky base, while the cranberry juice adds a fruity tartness. The lemon juice brightens the cocktail with its citrusy notes, and the simple syrup brings a touch of sweetness that rounds out the drink.

The spherical ice cube not only cools the cocktail but also adds a touch of elegance to the presentation, and the lemon slice garnish enhances the visual appeal and adds a hint of citrus aroma. The Blizzard cocktail is perfect for sipping on a warm day or as a refreshing option for bourbon enthusiasts.
