This winter wonderland beer cocktail was designed by Nat Harry, one of Bison's favorite mixologists and author of the awesome food and booze blog, Alpha Cook. Nat is also a great photographer, as evidenced by the picture below. Make sure to check out her blog for more great cocktail recipes and follow her on Twitter @alphacook!

Lump of Coal was created last year for a winter beer cocktail event, but we think it is tasty enough to drink all year round!

Lump of Coal

Ingredients

.5 Old Bardstown bourbon
.5 Leopold’s cherry liqueur
.5 Averna amaro
.25 lemon
2 dashes maple bitters*
1.5 oz Bison Organic Chocolate Stout

Shake all ingredients together vigorously, serve in coupe or stemmed cocktail glass.

*I used housemade maple bitters here, but you try using Urban Moonshine’s maple bitters, or just leave them out.
