12 Cocktails of Christmas - Cookies for Santa Cocktail

Try our version of a cookies and cream cocktail, using Hartshorn sheep whey vodka, chocolate liqueur, grenadine and single cream.

Ok, so there's no cookies in this drink but Santa is only human. So instead of the usual cookies and milk, why not leave out something a little more "adult"? Sticking with the milk theme, we've taken inspiration from the Silk Stocking cocktail recipe from Diffordsguide but instead of using tequila, we've used vodka. But not just any vodka, we've used a mix of Small Mouth vodka, a smooth drinking drop and dropped a bit of Hartshorn sheep whey vodka from Tasmania, which has a complex. peppery and slightly vegetal note, not unlike the agave spirits.

• 20ml Hartshorn sheep whey vodka

• 20ml Distillery Botanica Koko Noir chocolate liqueur

• 7.5ml grenadine
