Tis the season to be… Jelly!
This cocktail is a boozy take on a classic sufganiyah. It’s based on “a whiskey highball, brown ale and single malt Scotch to mimic the yeasty flavour of the dough, while créme de cassis and sugar bring forth the flavours of the blackcurrant filling,” blogger Nanda Kampark described her cocktail on Instagram. “Refreshing and fruity, with enough depth to make it interesting. L’Chaim!”
