🥃 THE FIRESIDE S’MORES OLD FASHIONED | Dessert Cocktail | Thirsty Thursday Cocktails E48

Welcome to Episode 48 of Thirsty Thursday Cocktails! Tonight is Part Two of our December Cocktail Series, and we are diving into the coziest drink of the season: The Fireside S’mores Old Fashioned!

This recipe is pure holiday nostalgia and perhaps the easiest S’more you will ever make. It’s a truly spirit-forward dessert cocktail that uses the secret weapon of Swiss Miss Shmallow Whiskey to instantly bring the sweet, toasted marshmallow flavor to the party.

We complete the S’more profile by substituting the traditional sugar cube with Demerara Syrup to mimic those rich, caramelized graham cracker notes. For the essential chocolate layer, we use four dashes of Aztec Chocolate Bitters, which adds a complex depth with hints of chili and cinnamon spice.

The showpiece is the spectacular torched marshmallow garnish, which delivers an incredible aroma and completes the campfire experience. It’s low-proof, high-flavor, and the perfect drink for snuggling up by the fireplace this winter.

Don’t forget to like this video and subscribe for more spirit-forward recipes every Thursday! Cheers!
