Intermediate · 3 min · plus 12 hrs ahead

Santa's version: Stonefruit and coffee liqueur, softened with cookie-infused milk. Marzipan and coffee make it taste like dessert, because milk by itself just doesn't cut it in winter. Built with Empirical Stonefruit, served in a highball glass and finished with a cookie of your choice.

  • 1½ oz Empirical Stonefruit
  • ¾ oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 4 oz Cookie-Infused Milk*
  • Garnish: A Cookie of Your Choice
