Eat. Featured Craft Cocktail: The Nutmeg

Craft Cocktail: The Nutmeg (serves one)
5 minutes to whip this beauty up
Ingredients:
Apple Brandy (we used *Laird's 100 proof Apple Brandy) - 2 ounces
Apple Cider (NOT fizzy) - 1 ounce
Lemon (freshly squeezed) - 1 ounce (roughly half a medium sized lemon)
Egg white (from an actual egg) - 1 egg white
Honey water (two parts honey one part warm water) - 1 ounce
Freshly ground nutmeg or shake some on from the nutmeg spice you already have in your spice rack. Grating nutmeg is kind fun, though.
Instructions:
Put the aforementioned goodness into a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Pour into a coupe glass or a rocks glass as pictured.
Top with grated nutmeg. So Yum.
Finally, don't forget the metal straw -- we obsess the metal straw.
The Story:
WEEEELLLLLLL, this drink was initially intended as a "hand made with love craft cocktail" at a large family gathering (Thanksgiving 2019). It was mostly a hit, meaning it takes a minute to make and it's probably better suited for a smaller crowd so that you are not mixologying (<---- it's definitely a word) the entire time. Don't get us wrong -- it's a wonderful drink; however, a big crowd means we'll bring a PUNCH BOWL next time. Save this deliciousness to wow your significant other in an intimate setting.
Also, for the love of saving Thanksgiving 2020 and possible awkward future family get-togethers, JUST HAVE ONE DRINK, or don't use 100 proof brandy, ahem (yes, there's a story there, but bygones).
