Drink Locally With this easy & delicious Whiskey Cocktail

It’s Time to Whiskey Jam Out

While CJ and I are dry this month, I fully recognize that Dry January isn’t for everyone. And with the impending “peaceful transfer of power”, I thought I would share the cocktail that got me through the final months of the longest year in history.

I have grown into a big whiskey lover. For Christmas, my coworker gifted me a bottle from Pittsburgh distillery, Quantum Spirits. This whiskey is delicious on it’s own with just a bit of ice. But if you’re the mixer type, here is a super simple and delicious cocktail that is both warm and fresh all at once.
