Pecan Sticky Bun Cocktail
Prepare for this over-the-top donut cocktail inspired by pecan sticky buns. Luscious pecan, sweet cinnamon roll flavoring and of course our base spirit bourbon play nicely in the cocktail. And that garnish, donut holes topped with cream cheese icing and candied pecans? Well, you can just make extra because you're going to want a few of those to nibble on while you drink the cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon (I used Old Bardstown Bottled in Bond)
- ½ oz Monin’s cinnamon roll syrup (or vanilla-cinnamon simple)
- ½ oz Rivulet pecan liqueur
- ½ oz caramel liqueur (I used Stroopwaffel caramel. Use non-creamy)
- 3 dashes black walnut bitters
- Garnish: donut holes frosted with cream cheese icing and candied pecans (see below for cream cheese icing recipe)
Instructions
- Combine bourbon, pecan liqueur, caramel liqueur, syrup and bitters in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well-combined and very cold. Strain into a coupe glass with donut glaze and donut holes frosted with cream cheese icing and candied pecans. Prepare for the sugar rush.
