The Flavors of the Season Hunting for a cocktail recipe that captures the flavors of the season? According to Duff, the flavors to be on the lookout for are apple cider, pear, chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, clove and allspice. And the best liquor you can stock your bar with to stave off winter chill: A good whiskey (she recommends Bulleit Rye or Dickle 12) or a nice, aged tequila like Don Julio Reposado.
To ease your way into cocktail crafting, Duff recommends taking a classic drink recipe and switching out a few ingredients, to give it your own personalized twist. Her advice: Be sure to swap them out with similar ingredients: for instance, acids for acids, sugars for sugars, clear liquors for clear liquors and so on. Some simple substitutions: tequila for gin, vanilla syrup or cinnamon syrup for simple syrup or agave, and grapefruit for lemon.
