Crafted with Obsidian Stout and whiskey, this cocktail is a masterful blend of smoothness and potency, with flavors that are as mysterious as they are tantalizing.
The rich, velvety texture of the stout provides the perfect foundation for the bold spirit of the whiskey, creating a taste experience that’s both soothing and invigorating. To add an extra touch of sweetness to this already-perfect cocktail, top it off with a crusty bruleed pear slice, carefully caramelized to bring out its natural sugars and add a delightful contrast in texture.
And don’t just stop at one – be sure to brulee a few extra pear slices as garnishes, so you can fully appreciate the beauty of this winter warmer. With the Dragonglass Cocktail, you’ll be able to drink in style even on the chilliest of nights.
Winter Beer Sangria
Savoring the flavors of the season, Winter Beer Sangria offers a creative twist on the classic Spanish drink, crafted with a rich bock lager infused with the warmth of ginger, orange peel, and cinnamon. This revitalizing cocktail is specifically designed for those who wish to indulge in a festive beverage without the usual red wine sangria’s drawbacks, including potential headaches.
The addition of dry rye whiskey contributes a sophisticated taste profile, while the sparkling water adds a delightful effervescence. Furthermore, the fruit mix brings a nice balance of tart and sweet flavors to the table, complementing the spices perfectly. Finally, the cinnamon stick garnish enhances the aromatics, elevating the overall experience of sipping on this unique winter beer sangria. Ultimately, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a warm, spiced, and refreshing winter brew.
Manhattan Cocktail With Kriek
Zestfully elevating the classic Manhattan recipe, the Manhattan Cocktail With Kriek offers a sophisticated and refreshing twist on traditional mixology. By substituting vermouth and bitters with kriek, a lambic beer infused with the tartness of sour cherries, this winter beer cocktail delivers an intriguing balance of mineral sweetness, subtle funk, oak, and orange flavors.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility, allowing for personalized adjustments to suit individual tastes; however, adhering to a 1:1 ratio of whiskey to kriek is recommended for optimal flavor. Presentation-wise, the drink is garnished with a tart and an orange twist, lending itself beautifully to both traditional high glasses and large glassware options.
Whether you’re seeking a simple yet impressive winter beer cocktail or simply looking to diversify your beverage repertoire, the Manhattan Cocktail With Kriek is undoubtedly worth exploring.

Hot Ale Flip
Understanding the origins of the Hot Ale Flip, it’s clear that this classic winter beer cocktail has been enjoyed by generations for centuries. Typically made with a combination of beer and rum, the mixture is often thickened with eggs or cream and sweetened with molasses or cane sugar to create a rich and indulgent flavor profile.
The drink is then heated with a red-hot poker to give it a frothy and warm texture, infusing it with caramelized flavors that are reminiscent of toasted nuts and spices. This unique cocktail is perfect for those who appreciate the robust taste of a malty dark beer, such as a porter or a traditional British brown ale. The Hot Ale Flip is a must-try for anyone looking to experience a warm and cozy drink during the winter months.
