For these wintry nights, nothing will warm you up faster than the perfect combination of whiskey and apple cider.

Brian MacGregor of Wingtip decided to combine his adult passion for whiskey with his childhood love of apple picking in the Wisconsin countryside into the ideal cocktail for the chilly months ahead. Dubbed the Speyside Orchard, the tasty drink is a combination of apple cider infused with apple brandy, whiskey, and chamomile syrup. Best of all, he's not keeping the ingenious recipe a secret.

This is a perfect long cocktail to refresh you after a day at work or whip up for your family on Christmas Eve (they'll definitely be impressed). Enjoy!
