Fruitcake Cocktail
«I wanted to use the flavours we find in our favourite festive foods and then put them into cocktail form. Cranberries, raisins, orange and cinnamon are mixed with rum, amaro and almond liqueur—for a hit of bitterness and to round it all out. It’s the holidays, in a glass.» Nicolas Cadrin, chef
