Copper Kettle

Copper Kettle: The Warmest Toast of the Season

Celebrate the final moments of the year with the warm, inviting character of our Copper Kettle, a spirit designed for elegant holiday entertaining. Its versatile profile creates a stunning harmony when paired with the creamy sweetness of baked brie and fig jam crostini or the savory, herbal depth of sausage and sage stuffing bites. For a festive midnight crunch, enjoy a final glass alongside cinnamon glazed pecans or spiced nuts to perfectly accentuate the spirit’s rich, toasted finish.

What You’ll Need:

  • 2 oz Cooperstown Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey
  • 4 oz Hot Apple Cider
  • 0.5 oz Allspice Dram (Liqueur)
  • 0.25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Cinnamon Stick
  • Thin Apple Slice

Directions:

Gently warm your apple cider without allowing it to reach a boil. In a pre-warmed mug, combine Cooperstown Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Allspice Dram, and a splash of fresh lemon juice to create a potent, spiced foundation for the drink. Pour the warmed apple cider over the spirit blend and stir gently. To finish, garnish with a cinnamon stick and a thin apple slice, allowing the heat to release a fragrant cloud of spice that makes every sip feel like a cozy New Year’s toast.
