Libation Creation: Santa's Special Sauce

This cocktail was inspired by a delicious drink called the Maple that I enjoyed one night at Farley Bar in Sausalito.  It is the perfect wintery treat to warm you on a cold night.  It even appeals to non-Bourbon drinkers since its sweet and refreshing.  I made this recently for a holiday party and it was a total hit.  It works well served in a pitcher and the recipe can easily be multiplied for a crowd.  This drink is guaranteed to make your spirits bright!  I mean, how else do you think Santa gets through Christmas night? Ho Ho Ho...
