I won the Lakefront Cocktail Kit from Bulleit Frontier Whiskey! I guess it's time to take my girlfriend on a nice fall "whiskey date" down by Seneca Lake. The Kit included a sweet bartenders knife, a jigger, 2 enamel mugs, gift card to huckberry, denim jacket, awesome cinch bag, and a plaid wool blanket. Also included was a recipe for a delicious mulled hot cider cocktail, called The Lakefront.

THE LAKEFRONT

To make this mulled hot cider, we combine fresh apple cider with Mexican cinnamon and orange zest over an open fire. Once the cider is steaming and aromatic, we spike it with Bulleit Bourbon and spiced bitters to complete the perfect lakefront cocktail.

1.5 oz Bulleit Bourbon

5 oz apple cider

1 stick of Mexican cinnamon (plus 1 for garnish)

1 strip of orange zest (plus 1 for garnish)

3 dashes spiced bitters

Combine apple cider, 1 stick of cinnamon and 1 strip of orange zest in a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add Bulleit Bourbon. Strain into a mug and garnish with remaining cinnamon and orange zest.

A big thank you to Bulleit Whiskey, W&P Design, Noble Denim, Huckberry, Topo Designs, Woolrich, and Esquire.

I'm stoked! #ineverwinanything
