Kyle Nelson from Middle West Spirits stopped in the Mix Studio Bar showing Mix listeners how to make three drinks for you to enjoy as the weather gets colder. First Kyle uses a base of Middle West Spirits Straight Wheat Whiskey along with ginger, apple cider, and lemon to make the Ginger Roberts. Next, watch as Kyle uses OYO Stone Fruit Vodka mixed with an allspice dram, orgeat syrup, and lemon and pomegranate juices to make a Pom Punch. Finally, Kyle adds a little heat to a cold-hot chocolate using Middle West Spirits Bourbon Cream, OYO Vanilla Bean Vodka, Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur, and chilled hot cocoa. You can also serve this drink hot. Just don’t chill the hot cocoa.
