S’mores flavored liquors have everyone toasting to the sweet flavor
As the sun sets and the stars twinkle, the call of the firepit and lure of sweet s’mores is too tempting to turn down. While that tasty treat is perfect in the moment, sometimes the flavor craving comes and the outdoor opportunity is not readily available. Luckily, there are s’mores flavored liquors that toast to the good times.
Flavored liquors have become more popular. While mixologists can build complicated cocktails with ease, the novice can find it easier to allow the liquor to do most of the work. Whether served simply over ice or combined with one or two other ingredients, that foundation sets the tone for the overall drinking experience.
Although some purists shy away from flavored varieties, others gravitate towards the innovation. From familiar to bold, there are plenty of options to try. With food trends focusing on nostalgia, the spirit world is embracing that idea as well.
Mash and Mallow is a great example of a s’mores flavored liquor. While it is clearly a whiskey, the sweetness of the marshmallow hits on the aroma. The richness from the chocolate creates a lovely mouthfeel. There is even a touch of buttery-ness of the graham cracker.
While the Mash and Mallow is delicious served simply over a cube with a few drops of bitters, it is great shaken into a cocktail. For example, a version of an espresso martini is quite tasty. The combination of sweet, chocolate, and coffee is delicious.
Also, the Mash and Mallow works well in classic cocktails, like an Old Fashioned. To add some whimsy, consider adding a fluffer nutter small sandwich as a garnish. Anyone who has dined at Royal Caribbean’s Mason Jar can appreciate the importance of a good garnish.
Lastly, for anyone who prefers some spice with their sweet, using some Ancho Reyes liquor is a great choice. The combination of chocolate, chili, and a hint of sweetness is quite enjoyable.
While Mash and Mallow has earned its fans, a new entry has just joined the conversation. Swiss Miss ‘Shmallow combines the toasted marshmallow and cocoa with the Hotel Tango Distillery Bourbon. On a chilly night, it is the warm, comforting flavor that bourbon drinkers will appreciate.
Additionally, this specialty spirit would be delightful in a hot cocoa. Although adults might prefer to have one big marshmallow over a bunch of mini ones, it brings a little fun to the sipping moment. Life is too short not to have a good time.
Enjoying the s’mores flavor in a glass does not require a fire. Instead pour a s’mores flavored liquor and toast to the sweetness in the moment.
