Spiced Winter Blizzard- What you need for my super simple holiday whiskey drink recipes
Jack Daniel’s Honey
I first encountered Jack Daniel’s Honey a couple of weeks ago and it steered up my interest immediately. The bottle has the signature appearance of course but written on the bootle was :”A blend of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and a unique honey liqueur of our own making, for a taste that’s one-of-a-kind and unmistakably Jack. ”
To this day I have never heard of a honey flavored whiskey. Of course I had to buy it and start crafting a heavenly tasting drink with all the flavors I love in Winter. A true holiday drink satisfying your taste during thanksgiving and Christmas.
When you drink that flavored whiskey straight you will notice that it doesn’t have that artificial flavor many flavored whiskeys have but a light sweet honeyed flavor plus a rich taste of Jack Daniel’s signature Whiskey Old No 7.

Apple cider and tangerine juice
Fall and winter are the high seasons for delicious apple desserts and eating your fill of tangerines. Because these 2 fruits are typical for that special season I wanted to add these flavors to my drink too. The sweetness of non alcoholic apple cider or natural cloudy apple juice and the tangy flavor of tangerines.

Spiced homemade simple syrup
My homemade simple syrup is very easy to make and keeps in the fridge up to 2 weeks. I added our homemade Pumpkin spice blend to it this in my opinion contains so many warm and delicious spices which makes it a fabulous addition to the honey, apple and tangerines flavors.
Simple drink – with lots of flavor
I’m a simple drink recipe lover. I hate when a drink takes me more than 5 minutes to put together . That’s why Im really into this spiced winter Blizzard.
The only thing you need to do is throw all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker or a glass with a lid, take whatever you have at hand, add some ice cubes, shake, strain into to champagne glasses add some decoration and enjoy your delicious holiday drink.

- The recipe is perfect for beginner home bartenders.
- It can be made for a crowd too.
- The recipe is adjustable.
