What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Time To Eat: Nutmeg Crafted Cocktail! Before you hear the dinner bell, it’s always a delight to sip on a crafted cocktail beforehand. It not only sets the tone for the ultimate dining experience, it also helps to pause the day from nonstop commotion and mind- boggling solutions. Pre-dinner drinks are not meant to get you sloshed and buzzed. Instead be pampered, let your hair down, and have some fun. You deserve it.
NUTMEG CRAFTED COCKTAIL
Ingredients:
1.5 ounces double-oaked bourbon
1 ounce grand marnier
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
Dash nutmeg
Orchids and nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions:
Using a cocktail shaker, combine double-oaked bourbon, grand marnier, lemon juice, orange juice, and nutmeg. Add the lid and shake the contents like a mixologist for several minutes to blend everything together. Fill a martini glass with crushed ice. Pour the cocktail over the ice. Garnish with fresh orchids and a sprinkling of nutmeg. Serve immediately.
Not sure I could detect the nutmeg in this. Not sure I’d worry about that either.

I don’t think we use nutmeg enough. It has a reputation of being a bully, but is really delightful in flavor.

Sounds like an intersting cocktail. But this is quite some alcohol in there. I only have a drink sporadically. Probably 3 or 4 times a year. However, I bet this tastes good!

Sounds delish, but I went “tea-totaler” this spring. Lost too many brain cells and can’t afford to lose too many more before I forget what’s-her-name… oh, yeah, Anita, my wife‼️😂
