esse Carr created his cocktail with a holiday feel in mind. “It’s basically an eggnog
variation,” says Carr, bar director at Balise. “The spices themselves—cinnamon with
a smoke aspect lingering in the background—make me think of having coffee and
cinnamon cake on Christmas morning.”
P.S. For everyone who’s squeamish about mixing a raw egg into your cocktail, Carr has the
following advice: “The egg is the perfect vessel, so there’s only a .001 percent chance something
could go wrong. Once you add alcohol, it kills any enzyme that could have lived in there.”
