Provisions South Hot Toddy

Warm up with Provisions South's hot toddy mixed up with bourbon, fresh lemon, honey syrup, lemon and allspice bitters. 

Local Liquor with rokz Infusions

Be your own bar master. Pick up a bottle of Swallowtail gin or Wolf Spirit vodka and combine it with a rokz infusion made here in Oregon. This time of year the cranberry or cinnamon and spice is perfect! Patience is required because it takes a few days, and several swirls of the bottle, but that is part of the fun. Finish any concoction with rokz salt or sugar rim mixes.
