25 Days of Christmas Cocktails, Day 9: Alpine Afternoon

Unless your home bar is incredibly well-stocked, you may have to make a trip to the liquor store to make today's drink. But, once you have the ingredients on hand, you'll find yourself mixing this bracing, herbal and spicy cocktail all winter long.

1/2 oz. Becherovka
1/2 oz. Killepitsch
12 dashes Angostura bitters
Tools: mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
Glass: rocks
Garnish: orange zest

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish and serve.
