The Giving Tree

This is a holiday cocktail that was intended as “a cold version of a type of mulled wine, from Nordic or Germanic tradition,” said its inventor, Mike Ryan, head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago. The red wine lends a nice roundness; the rye gives strength; and the Drambuie provides sweetness and spice. It’s a natural before-dinner sipper.
