Deck the Bar and Make it Jolly

We do a lot of entertaining but the holidays gives me an excuse to spruce up our offerings with new specialty cocktail recipes and bar accoutrements.  I decided to pop around and visit some of our peeps in The Southern Coterie and see what they are serving.

Bourbon Milk Punch from Beth Sachan’s Eat.Drink.Smile

1.5 – 2 oz bourbon whiskey, 3 oz whole milk, 2 tsp powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, freshly grated nutmeg

In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the bourbon, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Shake well. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over 3-4 ice cubes and grate fresh nutmeg over the top.
