This time of year there's nothing quite like sluggin' back a yummy cider; especially a good hard cider.
So, when hubby and I were out the other night at our favorite pub for our weekly date night and I saw their special board I was excited to see Crispin Hard Cider.
All by itself Crispin is good . . . we had their original (5% ABV). It's definitely crisp tasting, a little dry, a little sweet. Yum.
But we decided to take it to a whole other level . . . add a shot of something to it.
I thought a caramel liquor would be good but they didn't have it behind the bar. So, we opted to try the cider with Buttershots butterscotch liquor instead.
I poured the shot into a pint glass and then poured the cider over top.
Oh my! Delicious. The butterscotch flavor didn't overwhelm the apple but added a rich and creamy taste that was oh so good!
And then, in a burst of sudden inspiration, I decided to try one with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky! Great balls of fire! It was like drinking apple pie (without the crust)!! Yes! This concoction is a keeper! Lip smacking awesomeness!
Once a week hubby and I go out for a date night. This typically consists of getting all googly eyed at each other over good hot wings and cheap cold beer. Hey, what can I say . . . we're not classy but we have fun together.
This week was a little different. Oh, there were plenty of wings and a big pitcher of beer . . . and googly eyeballing . . . to be sure. But I saw a drink special above the bar I simply had to try.
Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Shooter!
Our lovely server . . . brought over a little shaker . . . shake shake shaking it all the way . . . and a shot glass.
She placed the glass in front me and pour a thick, cold, amber liquid into. The enticing aroma of warm cinnamon wafted forth. Drooool!
If you thought I wasted any time tasting it you'd be dead wrong.
Goodness gracious great balls of fire! That stuff is GOOD!
If you're not a whisky drinker fear not . . . this tasted like no other whisky I've ever had. There is no whisky flavor nor is there any whisky burn. All that you taste is a Fireball . . . you remember those round red penny candies from when you were a kid? Yup . . . just like that!
Seriously dangerous stuff. And, oh my oh so yummy.
But we decided to take it to a whole other level . . . add a shot of something to it.
