For the 2018 Holiday Issue, we turned an eye toward the festive recipes made by the global Miracle pop-up bars. “Miracle is about bringing people into the silliness and merriment of the holidays,” Miracle manager Joann Spiegel says of these simple preparations that can be stored in the fridge or freezer, then brought out for a quick taste of holiday cheer.

Ingredients

Naughty Shot:
1 750 ml. bottle of bourbon
8 cinnamon sticks
3 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
***
Nice Shot:
1 750 ml. bottle dark rum (Miracle uses Plantation Original Dark Rum)
9 oz. crème de cacao
30 grams peppermint tea

Tools:large jar with lid, strainer
Glass:shot glass

Preparation

Naughty Shot: Combine all the ingredients in a large, lidded jar and let soak for a minimum of 48 hours, shaking the container daily. Strain off the solids and bottle the infusion for use.

Nice Shot: Combine all the ingredients in a large container and stir to combine. Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain off the solids and rebottle for use. Keeps indefinitely, though the mint flavor will fade over time.
