Have you ever spent an entire year making a cocktail? We did! Now a holiday tradition, we enjoy this amazingly rich and delicious drink while getting a start on mixing-up next year’s edition. Aging the eggs in bourbon, cognac, and the aged rum imparts a flavor which only time can bestow. Watch us literally age along with this one. Some might say we get better with age, or perhaps is just that we (like the aged eggs) are so well preserved with alcohol.
