Read our disclosure policy. Spiced Whiskey Cobbler is wintertime cocktail made with spiced whiskey, spiced simple syrup, and muddled orange. Roast turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry jelly, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie are Thanksgiving dinner staples. Add this spiced whiskey cobbler should be added to that list. Spiced Whiskey Thanksgiving Cocktail Traditionally, a cobbler is a cocktail that consists of brandy or whiskey mixed with simple syrup and a fruit of choice to muddle. Think strawberries during springtime, peaches during the warm summer months, and oranges for all seasons. For this cocktail, I steeped spices and orange peel in whiskey for a few days to make my own “spiced whiskey blend.” It’s spicy, rich, and super aromatic. Along with that, I made a spiced simple syrup using cinnamon and cloves. (It’s a good idea to a make a double batch of the spiced simple syrup so you have extra to use with your coffee and tea!) This is a well balanced cocktail that shouldn’t be diluted with ice. It’s best to use giant ice cubs that melt slowly. This ice cube tray is one of my favorites.) Sweet, smooth, and festively fragrant, this spiced whiskey cobbler is a fun beverage to enjoy all season long. It’s easy to make a large batch to serve as punch for a party. It’s strong enough to satisfy traditional cocktail purists, yet sweet enough that your mom might enjoy a sip. Cheers!

I feel like where they left us was a good place for our imaginations to take over and create the rest of the story. Ugh, I might need to watch it again!! ❤️ P.S. I’m an Emily lover, too. Reply
