It’s Giving Thanks
It’s Giving Thanks! from Mister Mao in New Orleans, LA, is the ultimate fall cocktail, embodying the warmth and nostalgia of Thanksgiving with every sip.
This indulgent creation features the star ingredient, brown butter fat-washed whiskey, which sets it apart from other seasonal cocktails. The whiskey’s nutty, caramelized richness is perfectly complemented by earthy sweet potato syrup, the deep nuttiness of chicory pecan bitters, and a subtle saline balance. Finished with a torched marshmallow garnish lightly dusted with flake salt, this cocktail is a cozy, celebratory toast to the season.
